How many Paphs DOES it take....

You could always cheat like me and have one tatoo on your wife's backside or tile your floors with slippers. I'm never without!

Lol I'm sure you aren't going to supply pics of the former! though the floor might be interesting. In our orchid show we have a category for photos/artwork; you could show the judges the tattoo and see if they'll put a ribbon on it. Also an orchid tile might win something but you'd have to cut it out or take a close up pic and enter in photo section

A native orchid hunting friend had an artist who volunteered to make stained-glass cupboard doors with yellow ladyslippers on them! ... And a Syracuse orchid friend who does beading and has made lots of orchid jewelry/artwork with slippers. If you send her a picture I'm sure she could make whatever you wanted

Well, to report back, it appears the answer for me is around 40 adult plants. Granted, I bought some in bloom, but, if you exclude those, I would scarcely have had a week where something wasn't in flower, had I not been cutting off blooms early to beef up young plants. Many of my plants are getting ready to rebloom, and several new ones are going to bloom this coming year, so I don't see any reason why this won't hold true for a while.

I have close to 200. I always have at least 3 in bloom. Brachies are frequent bloomers.

What type of paphs do you have?
Maybe my problem is that I have lots of finicky roth hybrids...
