A few recent (and not so recent) flowers from my collection

[edwardplants]

Hi all! Another first-time poster here. I'm a hobby grower with a little collection of slippers (mixed, but mostly paphs) here in Vancouver BC - and thought I'd finally post some pictures of a few of my blooms from the past year

I've been lurking for a while and have learned lots through my reading. Looking forward to being a part of your community!

P. primulinum (fragrant!)


P. purpuratum


P. henryanum


P. thaianum (was hoping for one with a green staminode but this was still cute to see)


P. chamberlainianum

Love them all! and welcome.
Obviously, you are a species grower/mostly species...me too! I need to add chamberlainianum to my collection.

Thanks! And yes, for sure, although I do like an odd hybrid here and there.

Welcome from just south of the border. I had no idea primulinum was fragrant. How nice to have so many in bloom.

I would be very happy with this clone...it reminds me Tweety Bird's eyelash.

Hi Edward. Welcome from south of the Fraser. It's nice to see you found your way to this forum, you will learn a lot here. I recognize your beauties from our WhatsApp group.

Gorgeous purpuratum, perfectly to type! My absolute favorite species. Your other wonders are stunners too.
