First let me show you my Paph Harold Koopowitz. This one has just gone out of bloom. In mid Sept. I brought this in bud from N.Y. to S. Carolina. While there it opened and then I brought in back to N.Y. This is a first bloom, on a 3 growth plant. It is made from rothschildianum 'In Charm' x malipoense 'Fragrance'. I however could not find any smell to it.
From Sam at Orchid Inn I pre-ordered 2 single growth micranthium, and 3 seedlings of bellatulum x sib ("Jumbo' x 'Red on Red') From his table I also grabbed a Paph Magic Lantern 'Pink Blush' x Xfanaticum 'Fantastic', as well as a Paph. rothschildianum x sib ('Sam's Choice' x 'Eureka' AM/AOS). Then he threw in a roth. x seedling.
As a gift for showing up to the event, I picked a small Paph. spicerianum seedling.
Then Thangh of Springwater Orchids gave me 3 seedling, one of which as Ma Bell (malipoense x bellatulum). He gave me these, because he wasn't sure but he thought that possible 3 seedlings he sold me 6 months ago MAY turn out to be mislabeled.
From Hills's Raingreen Tropicals, I bought the 7 growth 24" leaf span plant for a only $50. Remember this baby had 2 spikes and a sheath.
I also won a 3 growth micranthium at the raffle for $8.
From Jason at Orchid Limited I bought all mature plants in bud or bloom. I snaged at Paph Greenteaicecreamandrasberries (Constant Love x malipoense 'Green Light'. I also got a single growth bellatulum ('Dalmation' x Dr. Spot') in bud. As well as a concolor (Tree Branch' x 'Fourth of July'). I also bought a Paph Quirene-Pauline (Sierra Bell x micranthium 'Goliath'). He had two in bloom and I took the darker of the two.
And last but not least, I also purchased from Orchid Limited was this beautiful 3 growth Paph. Estella (fairrieanum x godefoyea leucochilum 'Cabaernet Splash'. This was my most expensive purchase at $90. He also had single growths in plant of Paph. Estella at I believe $50. I took this one due to its shape and color. I figured, I knew what I had instead of what I might get.
All of these flew back in my hard sided suitcase to N.Y from Fla.. To my surprise they all made the trip in fine condition.
Hope you like the photos. All of them are compliments of my wife, Donna.

I'm curious how this plant came to be so well-traveled. Did you just take it with you to SC to make sure you got to see it bloom?
