Very nice examples of Paph. rothschildianum. Thanks to all for sharing.

I was a teenager, the first time I saw this species. It was at Wilson's Orchids in San Leandro, CA. Mr. Wilson's father had imported the plant from England. I believe it must have been from the original importation. Anyway, it was very impressive. This was years before it was rediscovered.

This is one is from the Orchid Zone in bloom today:



Cheers and good growing,
Paul

Karp, Sorry but none of the above names make me help remembering the vendor, he was at the time only selling flasks no plants/seedlings.
It was at least 20 years ago.

They may not be in business any more…..
