I’m ten months into my paph hobby and membership in this forum and I can truly say it’s been rewarding. I’m in awe of the results from plants purchased in-spike, but also tested my luck by purchasing blooming sized Henryanum and Fairrieanum plants and now they’re in bloom or in spike! Though not...

Paph miniature purchased from OrchidWeb in May, now in bloom! For size comparison, I placed it by my third-time blooming moquettianum.

I purchased this Paph. moquetianum x sib ('New Dimension' x 'Red Pouch') from Orchid Inn in March. Blasted the first flower, likely when I moved it from its comfortable enclosed environment, to a hotter drier open area for its first photo 🤦🏻‍♀️. Learned my lesson and was more careful this...

She’s a maudiae type paph of the vinicolor variety. Full name - Paphiopedilum Hung Sheng Bay ´Bruiser’ x Chou-Yi Apple Web...

I’m a Paph Newbie. I started a paph collection last month and it‘s pretty exciting to watch my plants grow. I’ve had some recent experience with phals and oncidiums. Years ago I had some cattleyas but then priorities changed as the children came. Now, retirement is bliss 😊. I chose the member...
