I own "Slipper Orchids, Paphiopedilum All Secrets Revealed" Picked it up on an online bookstore for $20 it was so bad that I left a pretty rotten review even though it was so greatly discounted It is, in my opinion, the singularly worst orchid book that I have. And I have 5 bookcases of...

There was an article in the Orchid Digest several years back that confirmed success in mericloning some paphs. If I recall there was limited success and an issue with deformity. Sorry but I don’t remember the author or exact issue.
