Some pictures of my Paph. villosum collection

[ThienNgo Le]

Hello everyone,
The following link is photos of my Paph. villosum collection. I have about 30 different shapes of this species in Vietnam. Unfortunately, the pictures are hiding somewhere in my laptop and I have not found all of them yet.

Please let me know if you can not see the photos.
Best,
ThienNgo Le

Not that much. I have just about 60 big plants of this species

I didn't know there were so many variations.

Does villosum require a cold period rest?

This species has many variations. It took my cousin about 10 years to collect all of them then I just took divisions of his collection (peace of cake to have a nice collection) )
Do you know the var album type of Germany? That one originally came from my cousin collection.

I don't think so.

WOW! All of them are really lovely, but that red one
stands out. I didn't know there were that many variations
either. I need to make a side trip to DeLat the next time
I visit my friend in Kuching.

You are so welcome to visit Angela. I have a plan to visit Vietnam next summer and I will be there from Jun to the end of August.

Thanks Eric,
I wish that I could bring my Paph collection to the US. It would be a lot of nice plants to grow.

I have been invited to VN by a couple of Paph enthusiasts, maybe one day...

Yes, there are many Paph. growers in North Vietnam, Dalat does not have many Paph. growers, but Paph. growers in Dalat always have big collections with numbered of rare form that they just keep them in their collections without any trades. My cousin name is Hoanh Le, If you went to Vietnam and asked orchid growers about his name many people would know him.
anyway, you are so welcome to visit my garden out there anytime.

Thien, is there a monsoon season in the highlands? I've been in Sarawak (by mistake) during monsoon season and
I thought I might air drown or melt.
