The Slipper Orchid Alliance needs photos for next issue

[Rod]

The Slipper Orchid Alliance needs photos for the next issue of the newsletter, which will be used to illustrate an article by Helmut Rohrl. I am specifically searching for high quailty images of the following images of species from the Coryopedilum section of Paphiopedilum: platyphyllum, randsii, gigantifolium, ooii, and intaniae. For the winter issue, we will need hybrids (mainly first order hybrids) of the Coryopedilum section. Please submit ONLY photos that you took yourself or clearly own the copyright. High resolution and large images preferred. Copyright credit and attribution will accompany all images in the newsletter and on the gallery images on the website. Images can be sent to: [email protected]

Your randsii definitely deserves a spot in ANY orchid publication!
You're the first 5 drools I've given!:rollhappy:

 

[JPMC]

Thanks. That's the nicest compliment I've received in quite a long time.

 

[SlipperFan]

Well, that certainly got on my "gotta have" list in a hurry!:smitten:

Bravo!

Thank you.

It's not that hard to grow, but it sure is slow to grow. I've had this since 1995 and it's only been blooming since 2001 or 2002.

it's really great
have you pollinated it and sent seed to troy meyers?

No, I have not. The plant is a selfling of the 'Birchwood' clone. I suspect that another generation of in-breeding may be a bad thing. If you or others don't agree, then I can try with the next flowering.

Gorgeous randsii - wish we'd see more of these!
