Paph praestans

[emydura]

Hey David, if a bit falls off the praestans, I know a bloke down sth who would like to be first in line.
( cos his got a dose of erwinea ) might save a tiny piece, hopefully.

No worries Roy. I wouldn't hold your breath. It is not clumping real fast. Good luck in saving your plant.

I forgot to mention -- beautiful photos, also.

Thanks Dot. That is high praise coming from you. I made a real effort with the praestans as I really wanted to capture its beauty. It took a bit of fiddling but I think I finally got it in the end.

Very nice blooming and great pic too! My little seedling isn't growing gangbusters, but it's still quite small, so we'll see what kind of growth rate it has on the way to maturing the first growth and beyond I hope! I got a praestans x stonei at the same time that was larger when I got it, and it Is growing quite quickly so far! Yay for praestans!

That praestans is phantastic, good catch. The Susan Booth isn't bad either, and your photos are excellent.
