Paph Season 2024

[tnyr5]

The flat one. That's the one you use for breeding from now on. Score irrelevant. Size irrelevant.

Wow. Gorgeous (and you got to keep your left nut)

I'm saving that for adductum, I only have one to trade

Both WBW look like FCCs, but the second one is the winner.

I have no doubt they'll both get there.

WOW Tony, congrats to the well deserved awards and for growing and flowering these wonderful plants.

 

[PhilaGardener]

Incredibly beautiful flowers! Those are amazing!

I might have scored 90 on both WBW lol.

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous!

You would have been in good company, two of the four judges scored 'Gabby' at 90 and one had 'Powderpuff' at 93 before coming down into range lol

I don't like the 4th too the last pictured one (one before the Yang-Ji), which I'm assuming is a roth.

It's much easier to say what I don't like since it is a very minority of the remaining awesome photos you have!

That is a roths 'Giant Wings' x 'Canadian Club', my quick pic isn't doing it any favors but if I remember correctly is is the least attractive of my three.

May I ask why the leaves of most Paphs are so yellowish? First thought is that they get too much sun/light... I can see you also illuminate with LEDs. My Paphs are also quite yellowish, I always thought it was due to the substrate/fertilizer but they are also relatively close to the light source. How much LUX do yours get, have you measured that?

Awesome WBW! How big is the plant (LS)? ...and what happened to Neil Kim?

I think Tony's look good. My multiflorals greened up more when I started using 1/4 tsp 30-10-10 with every watering.

It's mostly the lights throwing off the color in pics, they're not yellow in person.

'Gabby' is about 22" across at the widest point, 'Poundcake' is 27". Neil moved and was not able to take most of his collection.
