Thanks a lot Guidal!Rudolf's advice is very sound. Most vendors don't have everything listed in their web-shops - I gather, they have to have a larger stock of a plant for the effort to be worthwhile. So it always pays off to ask.
If you deal with Hilmar at Asendorfer Oz., make sure, that you get a plant of the size you want. His plants are of good quality, but a lot of his Paph-sortiment is made up of young plants in 7 cm pots (my patience - maybe also my age - doesn't work very well with buying plants of that size). But Hilmar is always friendly in communication and his answers straightforward.
You could also try: Orchideenhaus Asien in Schloß Holte-Stuckenbrock (they have a larger sortiment, than can be gleaned from their homepage - and VERY reasonable prices!).
Another option is Franz Glanz at Wößner Orchideen.
If you want to be sure of getting a masterianum, write to Sam Tsui of Orchid Inn (Paphiopedilum - Species - Page 8 - Orchid Inn Ltd.) and ask to be put on his mailing list to get informed when he visits Europe next time!
This one is my mastersianum that is in bloom right now
What a beau! Do you know the cross?This one is my mastersianum that is in bloom right now
Yes please!Thanks a lot Guidal!
I've already contacted Sam, but at this point, he has no plan as to come to Europe due pandemics and war.
About Hilmar I have not yet received an answer.
Will ask Orchid House Asia too.
A good friend of mine has got a beautiful mastersianum in Indonesia a long time ago probably 40 years ago still alive and flowering.
Hope to be able to take a shot of the flower when I will visit him next week.
