My collection of Paphs

Taking pollen off is the easy part. toothpick w/ honey.

For the rest you need nice musik and a nice glas of wine, and some candels on.....

Dido, you old romantic you! That would presuppose that NYEric was intimating that the 'Honey' was not the one made by bees, but the one needed by the 'birds and the bees'!

I have always found that most pollen is soft enough to be collected by a dry toothpick (oh dear!), but if in need of a bit of moisture (only if candles, sweet talk and music have not accentuated the mood) that glycerine works well (does not attract ants)!

Trithor, this is for you. Better late than never.

I am truly honoured! Thank you!
Those are fantastic petals and a good dorsal! I would say that on a bigger and more mature plant that this has great potential! Look after it.

I sure will take good care of it, I've been thinking about cutting the spike, so it can concentrate on getting bigger, but haven't come around it yet, because of its beauty!
