Nice photos of beautiful flowers, Rudolf!

What mix are you growing your tranlineanum in?

How many years have you had your purpuratum?

Rick, I was experimenting with anorganic potting mediums for several years and ended up with expanted clay i.e. LECA. But I don't grow in S/H culture ( tried it once and it was a disaster for me and my plants).
At the beginning I used the whole balls with different success . Since I've been using broken LECA my plants grow in a better way at least in my perception.
I grow almost all of my plants in that broken stuff except seedlings, young plants or root sick plants.
I puchased this P. purpuratum about 2 years ago.

Rick, glad you found this thread just in time.
Yepp, almost all of my plants are species. You can count the few hybrids that I grow at the fingers of one hand.

Nice flowers again! Looks like you're having a great year 2010 with your Paphs.

Yes Carsten, with regard to my Paphs I'm very pleased this year. But as you know mate - there's alway room for improvements!!
