I was sold this plant as Paph micranthum. I was pleased when it bloomed as Paph armeniacum. I have another Paph armeniacum that I have had difficulty blooming. Perhaps the cool bright winter I give micranthums might help the armeniacums also.

Gorgeous pouch! You can always tell the difference between micranthum and armeniacum by feeling the leaves. Paph. micranthum has a rough texture and armeniacum has a smooth texture. Even though they look more or less identical, there's no mistaking the texture of the foliage.

Did this come from me? I had one bloom as armeniacum too. They all came from the same source, sun moon orchids. Email me and we can work something out.

Hello Kyle,

I met Jason Fischer at our show. We're working a deal for later in the year that might involve you shipping some things to me, if you are willing.

No, the plant didn't come from you and if it had, I would thank you. I like it. It may have come from Sun Moon but by a different route.

Ivan was at the show. He certainly is a nice guy and a gentleman. We were discussing you again....only good things were said.

Glad to hear it wasn't from me. I have a bunch that are one of the other and they are slowly blooming out. I bought a bunch of stuff from Sun Moon at the end of a show. The price was right to make me risk it.

I can ship you what evey Jason brings. Just let me know. I'll be back in Ecaudor in October for about 6 weeks.

Very nice and nice surprise! I think there is a way to tell the difference by the leaves. Not sure which is which, but one of them has a little 'arrow' in the veining at the tip of the leaves. Might not be a guaranteed way of telling the difference, but now that you know what you have, try and compare the leaves.

Wonderful. I'm jealous. Ecuador is fantastic and the people from Ecuagenera must be great to work with.

Pssst: Kevin. Check out my post on page #1. Once you compare the texture of the two species with your eyes closed, you'll be amazed at how different they really are!
 
Yeah, I saw that - this is a different way, at least I think so. Can anyone verify that this is true? Your way might be more definitive.

I have found this true also, and have grown several plants of both species. If you put a blindfold on, you could easily discern which is which.
