Paphiopedilum spicerianum A stable pygmy form of spicerianum.

One of the slippers in my 'Harefield Hall' collection. Almost every state in Australia has a different plant benched as P. insigne 'Harefield Hall'. I have a piece of most of them but for one reason or another they don't fit the description of 'Harefield Hall'. The plant pictured fits the...

I have seen this photo getting around some of the Asian orchid forums. Talk is it's a new species. Anyone have any info?

A facebook group focusing on Paph growers from Australasia has been operating for a while. Not a lot of action there, a bit of trading and a few nice pics. Although the focus is Australasia, the admin accepts anyone. www.facebook.com/groups/PaphGrowersAustralasia/

I was talking to an AOC judge recently and he mentioned that Australian Orchid Council awards are to be removed from OrchidWiz. I didn't have time to discuss the details, has anyone heard about this? Regards, Mick

I'm looking for different clones of Paph Bruno. Will consider swapping Bruno 'Model' plants for other Bruno cultivars but would prefer to purchase. Mick

Paph Isabel Booth First bloom seedling. The first and second flower got caught between the foliage of some other plants. The petal stance maybe better on the remaining buds? Paph Isabel Booth

Early this year two of my hybrid Cyps flowered for the first time (alas I didn't get to see them in flower). This minor success gave me the courage to try growing some more difficult plants and when some tibeticum flasks became available, I thought I'd give them a go. As you can see from the...

I've read that OrchidWiz can run on a Mac with the appropriate software. Is it possible to run OrchidWiz on an iPad without dramas' ? Regards Mick

No mention of plants in this article, lets hope they shut down some of the plant smugglers or that they are next on the list. http://wildlifenews.co.uk/2012/100000-police-take-part-in-chinese-wildlife-raids/
