You have a very impressive front garden, Dot. Very nice combinations and contrasts of shapes and colours and textures. All so healthy, and no weeds!

:clap: It's a stunning species. You're doing very well with your plant. It must like being with the paphs. It looks very healthy in what looks to be a fairly small pot, and three flowers! I can only manage one at a time on my plant.

I'm talking about the 18th Australian Orchid Council Conference and Show at Werribee, 8th to 13th September. http://www.mosorchid.org/AOCConf2009.php I think their publicity people would be horrified to know there's an orchid grower in Melbourne who doesn't know about it.:D

I love Paph. charlesworthii. I know people say they are a good beginner's plant but I've managed to kill a few of them as well as lots of other 'easy' paphs. Now I'm growing paphs again and having some success I want to try another charlesworthii. I'm hoping to pick one up at the Melbourne...

What a treat to wake up to! It must have taken you ages to post all those wonderful pics, Hardy. Thank you so much.:)

Thank you for the friendly welcome. I grow a lot of dendrobiums including Spatulata hybrids, Latourea species and hybrids, Australian Native species and hybrids, soft-canes, Phalaenanthe species and hybrids, Indian species, and assorted others. I have a number of Cymbidium species and some...

It's time I did this, so here goes! I have been a hobby grower of orchids for over 20 years, and I have a mixed collection of over 2,500 plants of various genera, but I have never grown many paphs. I'll rephrase that. I have never grown many paphs successfully. I've done OK with phrags, but...
