Wanted Any multifloral flasks/compots/seedlings around? USA or Europe

[treefrog]

I really enjoy growing paphs (and phrags) from flasks or compots! When Sam Tsui retired, I acquired a good amount of compots and flasks (mostly multifloral hybrids) from various members of this forum that were distributing his plants. Through trials and errors, I have refined my growing conditions over the time and I can now say I am quite happy with my results in growing paphs seedlings

I’m now searching for additional flasks or compots. I was wondering if some of you acquired flasks from OrchidInn (or other sources), and would have extra compots available for sale in the USA or Europe? Special kudo to anyone with some Chin Hua Dancer!

Please let me know,

Cheers

Just a quick bump. Not much compots floating around I believe.

I bought quite a few flasks during his final months in business and have just a dozen compots left. Those plants are large enough to move up into 2 inch pots in the spring. I suspect it is the same for everyone else who bought flasks. Mike

Thank you for your answer. All my flasks from OI are also in individual pots now. That being said, larger seedlings is absolutely an option. I'm always interested in acquiring groups of 5-6 seedlings per variety just to have a good representation of each grex. If anyone has some, please contact me.

Cheers,
Mathieu

Dave at Paph paradise may have something in compot if you reach out to him. I don’t think he’ll have a new flask list until next year. He has CITES for paphs I’m pretty sure

That is a good idea! Many thanks!

i might have some moquetteanum seedlings still (AM x HCC), the parents are from World of Orchids' AQ population, several awarded. Also still have some seedlings of (callosum f.) viniferum, the first bloomed last year, true to color and somewhat asymmetrical form. Question: did you get any of Sam's typical colored callosum, not the ones with vini in them? Round Dorsal and all those.

Hi cbart, sorry I did not see your message earlier. I sure would be interested in some of those moquetteanum!
Regarding the callosum viniferum, its a shame they are asymetrical! Its quite strange in fact, to have all of them this way!
When acquired my flasks, I don't remember any callosum were offered to me.
Cheers,
