Show us Paph. that you've killed.

[gotsomerice]

Here are some of mine.
Paph. fairrieanum and Paph. charlesworthii v. alba.:sob:

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

I'm great at killing fairreanum. I felt much better when I met Terry Root at the orchid show here last Feb., and he said even he can't keep it alive for long. He thinks it's just a very short lived plant.

I'm too embarrass to do that! Besides it would take a week of Sundays to post all the pictures!

Did you ask him about emersonii too? I can't keep these suckers alive!

Obviously not short lived.

Mike, you had to just throw that link in did you!?!

What are the odds that plant is not alive today?

 

[Linus_Cello]

Well, before I went to law school, I had a bunch of orchids (for paphs, like a large Angel Hair, several PEOY, and some Marriott Elfstone crosses). Someone took care of them in his greenhouse while I was at law school. However, after graduating and before I could move in to my new place in the winter, his greenhouse heater died and my plants froze.
Does this count?

Yes!

[Dido]

I killed my Lippewunder X Lippewunder this year I am not happy about that.

And killed a lof of seedlings over the years.
killed all lowii I had and supardii

 

[Erythrone]

I killed this lovely delenatii vinicolor...

 

[Trithor]

If there is some form of triage at the 'pearly gates', I fear that the sheer mass of paph fatalities against me will preclude me from entering! I suspect I will be sent to the pub for another drink while they attempt to add up the vast numbers!

Too painful a subject to contribute. :sob: I think the total value for the plants I have killed would be enough to buy another house. When you kill a plant that you paid more than $ 1000 usd for, you join that special club. You can tell who belongs by the desperate look in their eyes, and the fact that they only drive cars over 10 years old, with bald tires, and wear shabby old clothes. They have no relatives that would return their phone calls.

Well, in reality at least 2 out of 5 of my relatives will return my phone calls, but this spending too much on orchids and then not keeping them alive is a real illness.

I killed more paphs than any other orchids in the last 10 years...the number probably close to about 100 =( the most expansive being sanderianum $300, MK $150, roths $125...paph in general are more expansive than any other orchids with the cheapest being around $20.

Safe to say, there goes part of my mortgage :sob:

I'm sorry! This was a really nice one.

Do you have a picture of that $1000 plant? What was it?

Have you ever seen the flowers before you killed them?

Yeah that picture looked old. I bet it is dead or has about one growth now.:rollhappy:
