Baodai, lovely flower and more to come that's great. :drool: :drool:
As far as I know Paph huonglanae occures in Vietnam and was later described as Paph. emersonii from China. But obviously beside of the bigger size of huonglanae there are no more differences between this two species. So it is common meaning that Paph honglanae is synonym to Paph emersonii, or is this wrong??

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

Paph honglanae is synonym to Paph emersonii, or is this wrong??

According to Averyanov et alia (Slipper Orchids of Vietnam, 2003), this is correct.

Very beautiful. If I promise to leave my cell phone and camera home, can I come too? I promise to be good. You can even search me when I leave

Thanks all, I will self cross a lot of them and donate seed to seed bank.

Bob in Albany, N.Y., You have facebook? I will send out my invitation using it. Good luck learning Vietnamese from now untill Feb14, I only use Vietnamese for my speak. It is about 3hrs from Albany to DCOS, Are you going to be there? It is winter, not much to do right?

I find them easy to grow but haven't figured out how to bloom!

Great idea! Think about Meyers Conservatory -- that way us US citizens have access to seedlings! Your flower is beautiful.
