Paph mayanmaricum

[Nelson Wong]

Sometimes i like to gamble when buying plants on ebay. I got this plant from an ebay seller around 8 months ago because it was pretty cheap. Based on the ebay seller, pretty sure the paph mayanmaricum was wild collected.

It came in decent conditions with some roots, but over time it just kept losing leaves. Currently it is down to 2 leaves and it still bloom. I have since snipped the flower. But here is the picture.

This species has attractive flowers for sure. I'm not a big risk taker when it comes to buying plants from eBay, but all the ads and listings from sellers in Thailand and China with hard to find paphs can be tempting.

Good luck with this plant. Once it is fully recovered, it will probably be even more stunning.

It is pretty, but I have noticed all the listing i got from thailand and china are extremely prone to diseases. we will see if any survives, I doubt it

They are also extremely slow growing

Nice, I checked and this species(myanmaricum) is legal to have here in U.S.
But, not all offers( from Thailand or China Ebay sellers) are legal here.
