Gorgeous! Well done.

The Windsor Castle was purchased as a seedling on eBay a couple years ago. Thanks all for the kind comments. Just researched the label - it was from Monsoon Orchids Flora - look like they are no longer in business.

This is Paph. Albion 'Wyld Court' FCC/RHS, an "oldie but goodie". One of my first orchids, it was purchased at Rod Mclellan nursery in the late 60's. Cheers, Paul

Beautiful and well grown. Nice job!

Love all of them - good job!

Paph. fairrieanum ('stunning' x 'Hillsview' FCC/AOS): I really like the dark color of this one. Not quite as nice as the pollen parent, but one of the best I have bloomed. Good growing, Paul

Well done!
