I always love your in situ photos -these are no exceptions!
Thank you for taking us all on this journey with you :)
 
The late Dr. Jack Fowlie past editor of the Orchid Digest magazine use to trek all over SE Asia searching out and photographing all the paph species in the 60's and 70's just like you are doing in the 2000's.
It's a complement to you Canh

Thank you very much for your information.
I'll try to make photo of all Paph species grow in Vietnam (in the wild)
 
Thankyou Canh. Please try to find Paph vietnamense if there are any left...


Still have but it is a small amount and it just like impossible to see it bloom in their habitat.
Last year have one with the bud then local people just exploit that...
I always do hope that I can make one.
 
Your in situ pics never fail to impress.

I used to think I went to great lengths to take in situ pics here in Canada, and then I think what it takes for you to get your shots!

Humidity, jungle, snakes, wow!...

... all I have to deal with is slow drivers and bug bites.

This is one of a rarely huge area full paph flowers
 
Gorgeous! Interesting how different this gratrixianum is compared to the cultivated ones, which have narrow leaves with purple spots underneath (at the leaf bases), erect spikes and the base of the dorsal sepal is often rolled into a funnel.
