I know. Remember we did the big group order last year. Matt's choices are amazing but the plants were on the small side.

In the list I have - they go by letter - size A, B and C. So, it is better to look for C then?
Actually not 11. Sorry about that. I counted just a total of 8 growths. I just repotted it this spring

Healthy, and so much space!

I bet that in a very short space of time he will be a bit more squeezed for space! All that spare space cannot go unoccupied for long.
Congratulations on your new plant, it looks super healthy.

Thank you Dot and Trithor.
I hope I can keep him healthy here.
As for the space, everytime I buy something new, I shuffle my plants around to make sure I still have some space for future purchase or two. Some larger ones like Lady Isabel and St. Swithin moved out back to windowsill.
I sold quite a few large phals on ebay.
The view of completely full tanks would probably freak me out, because that would mean I can't buy no more...

Nice pick up. Remember the mantra, "there's always room for one more orchid, there's always room for one more orchid, there's ..."

Sad day. Threw away three paphs:
Paph. Prince Edward of York(sanderianum '#6' x rothschildianum 'Hsinton') R.I.P.
Paph. Fumi's Delight small seedling R.I.P.
Paph. sanderianum('Bruno Manser' x 'Penanko') medium seedling R.I.P.
All roots were mush. Good thing - rest paphs show new root growth through their pot walls. Maybe these three would be the last ones that I killed.
Collection shrank a bit but I will fix it in the spring.
Paph. micranthum
Paph. armeniacum
Paph. Dick Wagner small seedling
Paph. Delrosi 'Murrey' division
Paph. Lady Isabel
Paph. St. Swithin
Paph. sanderianum x sib ('Mini' AQ/AOS x 'Dr. John' AM/AQ/AOS) currently about 30 very small seedlings in compots
Paph. stonei x sib ('Red Pouch' x 'The Best') currently 11 very small seedlings in compots

The cycle of killing plants and replacing them with even more is something that will be repeated and repeated (if my situation is anything to go by)

I had to get rid of four yesterday, and my collection isn't much bigger than yours. It's hard, but some had scale so bad it was scary, out of nowhere. Others had been battling rot for awhile. I forget who told me this, but the saying is "to be a great orchid grower you must kill your body weight in plants." I'm well on my way. Think of it this way, more room for new plants! Or in my case, making room for the overflow of plants I have already...

Thanks to orchiata bark and K-lite fertilizer, Ive never had such good root growth on my paphs. But there are still more paphs that I like going into the compost. No way to escape that.......

My new additions that came from Montreal show yesterday:
Paphiopedilum Dollgoldi. I think it is close to blooming size, right?
Paphiopedilum hangianum flask deflasked:
and all potted up:
I would appreciate any advice from people experienced with hangianum flasks. Thanks!
I didn't kill anything since the last update
