My entire Paph collection

[Trithor]

A very rapidly expanding collection you have there, bit of a population explosion!

 

[Paphman910]

The Orchid Inn Paph delenatii vinicolor (dunkel) is beautiful!

I am sure the barbatum and the urbanianum will grow well for you!

Hm? What? I've no idea what you're talking about... *whistles innocently* :wink:

As a matter of fact, I've sold a bunch of my Phals to be able to get more Paphs. :rollhappy: I think they're easier to care for than Phals, at least in my conditions since the Phals want to be repotted like every sixth month or so (they grow out of their pots so darn quickly...), while these guys just stand there and grow slowly, but surely (or die slowly but surely).

The Orchid Inn Paph delenatii vinicolor (dunkel) is beautiful!

I am sure the barbatum and the urbanianum will grow well for you!

It's a real beauty and I'm so glad I got one! My friend is going to come over and have a look at it, I've warned her it's even more beautiful than the malipoense.

I really hope you're right and if they start getting depressed, I always have the terrarium.

 

[The Mutant]

Got another roebelenii since the first one is slowly but surely dying... As a last efforst, I repotted this already too much stressed phil and tossed it into my terrarium. Let's see if I have doomed it or if it might recover.

In the meantime, and if the big phil dies, I have this new little tuft of grass:

I wonder how far away from BS it is...

That is quite a collection!

 

[The Orchid Boy]

Nice collection! That is one chunky delenatii dunkel! I was rather disapointed in mine (that later died and needs to be replaced).

Hehe, and I want even more, like a Dollgoldi (another hard to flower cross, why not?)...

Nice collection! That is one chunky delenatii dunkel! I was rather disapointed in mine (that later died and needs to be replaced).

I was very pleased with my delenatii and I'm so glad you guys posted pictures of their foliage, 'caues it's stunning.

Yeah, I followed your poor delenatiis demise, and I really hope you'll get one that's at least this size.

Turning out as a roth connoisseur hey!

You gotta love 'em! I like that the flowers look so cheeky/cocky, like they're asking for trouble. I also like roth/parvi hybrids since the roth parent gives the toilets' petals the stretch they need. :rollhappy:

So far, the roth that absolutely love living with me is the 'Starship' x self cross that I got from Asendorfer. It hasn't lost a single leaf and when I repotted it recently, it had a root system that almost filled the entire pot. The roth that I've now almost managed to kill, is of course the most expensive one (in relation to its size, that is),'Jim Crull' x 'Canadian Club'... I'll see if it makes it or not.

 

[The Mutant]

A small update on my collection! I got my second roth x parvi hybrid today, Wössner Vietnam Star, and it is a beautiful plant.

I also purchased a replacement for my roebelenii in case the first one won't make it. Here's is the little guy:

Also, it seems as if I have killed my first Paph, my barbatum var. nigritum. I'm not surprised that it didn't make it, but that doesn't make me less sad.

On a more positive note, the barbatum I ordered from Orchid Inn and that only had two roots, has now started getting a new root. Same with the urbanianum.

Why is papuanum missing on your list?

 

[Trithor]

Impressive collection, now you just need to flower them

 

[The Mutant]

I realized that I must concoct a wishlist too!

Wishlist

Sigmatopetalum
Bougainvilleanum
Dayanum
Hookerae
Wentworthianum

Hybrids
Berenice
Dollgoldi

(I think this wishlist will be changed a lot during my time as a Paph owner).

Why is papuanum missing on your list?

Because, 1) I've seen none for sale here in Europe, 2) if I wanted another slow, difficult sigmatopetalum besides mastersianum, I would go for a wentworthianum instead. :wink:

Impressive collection, now you just need to flower them

I have flowered a few of them: cerveranum (duh!), superbiens, ciliolare, gratrixianum, purpuratum, Ashburtoniae, robinsonii, venustum, and callosum var. sublaeve. Some have tried, but not managed all the way; Maudiae 'Schwarze Madonna', wardii, and schoseri. Most of my plants are seedlings and I don't know when they'll reach BS. I hope I'll be able flower them all, but only time will tell if I succeed. As a first year as a Paph owner, I don't think I've done half bad at least.

 

[eggshells]

Goodluck finding wentworthianum. as far as i know its a myth.

Well, we all need a White Whale in our lives, right. :rollhappy:

 

[The Orchid Boy]

You need more parvis! oke:

 

[Trithor]

You have done incredibly well!

 

[The Mutant]

You need more parvis! oke:

And you need more sigmatopetalums! oke:

Nah, seriously, why get something you don't like? A waste of money I say.

You have done incredibly well!

Thank you, although the fact that I've killed one and caused serious, maybe irreparable, damage to another two, is not good. But I think I've learned my lesson from these three.

I forgot about my hainanense that tried to flower, but got mealy bugs and lost the spike. It has grown a new fan instead.

 

[NYEric]

Nah, seriously, why get something you don't like? A waste of money I say.

You already have 3 Parvis and one of your wishlist hybrids is a Parvi cross! oke: "Luke, come to the dark side"

Thank you, although the fact that I've killed one and caused serious, maybe irreparable, damage to another two, is not good. But I think I've learned my lesson from these three.

I kill more than that every week.

 

[Trithor]

I kill more than that every week.

You are not alone in that

 

[The Mutant]

I kill more than that every week.

Um... I only have two parvis, and one of them was a freebie. I only kept it because it was free, and the foliage was pretty. The only parvi I've gone out of my way to buy is the delenatii, and that was also only because of the foliage. I think the flowers of delenatii are okay, so I won't mind if it flowers.

And yep, I like most of the roth x parvi hybrids, since I feel that the roth parent bring the balance I miss in the parvis flowers.

Yes, but you do own more than me too, so it's not that strange.

You are not alone in that

Same as I said to NYEric, you own more than I do, which makes fatalities more prone to happen I think (you can't adapt your care to each individual Paph as I have the possibility to do, since there's just not enough time for that).
