Wanted to share with you some photo's of a plant that joined my collection today. It has two flowers but as one is not fully develloped yet I'll post pictures of the first flower. I'll update in couple of days with more pictures of the complete plant.

Nice.
Can someone explain to me how this is fair!?

It is fair, because you live in an expensive NY area ... It is a trade off, you can move to Vietnam and have as many paph as you like ....
so here is a simple logic for you:
High standard of living = can't have all good paph
low standard of living (Vietnam) = You can have all the paph
Now, where do you want to be ?

Ah well I get the same thoughts when seeing the collections and / or greenhouses of other hobbyists.

Yes, but you can legally collect and build where you are.

Eric, that solution you need to depend on someone and it will take time, it could be the rest of your life you won't see it ... what you can do now, you should pack it up and move to Vietnam,

Well that might be true for some people on this forum. But these rules don't apply to me.

I'm just a windowsill hobbyist living in western europe

We have KFC but who would want to eat KFC when there is so much wonderful Vietnamese food.

Vietnamese, tired of viet food!

I would love to get there but... retirement in 10 years will be my next vacation I'm afraid!

I like you tranlie with its chocolate colourated pouch, Marc!

Seems as if there's much to do for a civil engineer in NYC!!

NYEric · Feb 11, 2011

I have photos of pot-holes here as big as swimming pools from this winter! If i was rich I'd invest in asphalt and bitumen!

Eric, you are not alone - same is here. Many of our roads here in Germany have got damged by the winter/frost very badly!

Kevin · Feb 11, 2011

Very nice! Thanks. I'm hoping to get one of my own this spring!

I agree. Love Vietnamese food.

Nice plant.
Fore sure Vietnamese food is better than Food in Netherland,
thats why they have so many vietnamese and chinese Food all over.

Vietnam has Cypripedium so this could be interesting for me too.

Great plant! Another one that I wish I could have...
