I guess it pays to buy good plants - most of Nick's plant are in bud or bloom. Here's a couple worth looking at.
First, can you get any rounder than this Paph Matrix (S. Gratrix x Conco-bellatulum)? It's a first bloom plant, the stem supports the flower (but leans forward so it has a little help to show it nicely) and has heavy substance. One other Matrix has been awarded; this one is a little smaller but I think the shape is great.
Next is S. Gratrix 'Half Flat Albino' x (Double Grey x Monica) 'Superb Snow Giant'. Again a first bloom plant. Substance is good and the stem almost supports the flower. I like the cream color, the shape of the pouch and the fine pattern of spots

Finally, an slightly odd shaped S. Otogrozen ( S. Gratrix x bellatulum). But it is very heavy and waxy and I like the spotting. One award to this cross. If it opens better on future bloomings, it's as big as the awarded clone.
I hope you enjoyed the photos
