This was from Sam originally. This year it has 5 blooming spikes and another low spike which will hopefully catch up soon.

This one is from Sam. Tall strong stem, dark coloring and overall chunky appearance.

This is a first bloom seedling from Hillsview Gardens. The flower stem is extremely tall, but I guess that is to be expected.

I bought this some years ago as gratrixianum, but the plant is much smaller than my other gratrixianum. The terracotta pot is 3.5” across. Would this more correctly be called P. christensonianum?

This cross is P. wolterianum x venustum. Hausermann’s had an amazing specimen in their collection 25+ years ago. I put my name on the list for a division, but I had no luck. Later, I was told that one of their two plants had been stolen! Then last year, I was going through their Paphs and I...

I purchased this last winter from Paph Paradise. It is a curious little flower, but I like it. I have a general weakness for green flowers and this one is an unusual shade of olive drab. It is still a very small plant.

The villosum is probably correctly aureum not album. It is, however, a little different than my other aureums. The flower has more green in it and the foliage is thicker and more stiffly vertical. I’d call it sword shaped. I picked up this villosum a couple of years ago at Hausermann’s Fall Open...

Very short stems, but good color on this first bloom seedling. What are the chances that the stems will be a little taller on its next flowering?

P. insigne is one of my favorite species. This is a first bloom seedling from a selfing of P. Insigne var. sanderae FV. I have 10 plants from this crossing and they are all growing like weeds. This is the first to bloom. Others are in low spike. Half of them are sanderae and half will be normal...

Nowadays, I only buy from a couple of vendors on EBay. This plant came from Orchiaceaeinc, but sadly they are no longer around. I bought it as a seedling a number of years ago. The cross was P. barbigerum Joan HCC x P. barbigerum Jasón

Happiness is watching paphiopedilum seedlings bloom for the first time. These two are both from Sam.

I love a good primary hybrid and since I failed miserably the one time I attempted to grow sangii, I thought this would be at least some consolation. The flower doesn’t have the intriguing shape of sangii, but at least it is easier to grow and the coloring is very good.

I usually don’t expect these to bloom in July, so when I first noticed this one in bud I was pleasantly surprised.

I am really fond of all species in the appletonianum complex. This is P. amabile

Pretty much what you would expect from a mix of armeniacum, sanderianum and kolopakingii.
