This is Paph. Albion 'Wyld Court' FCC/RHS, an "oldie but goodie". One of my first orchids, it was purchased at Rod Mclellan nursery in the late 60's. Cheers, Paul

The color of this flower really stands out among my other plants. This is the third bloom. The leaves on the flower stem haven't appeared previously... Back lighting: Throwing in this photo of La Vingtaine. It illustrates the slight color break I'm seeing in a few of my Phrags. My night...

I'm pretty sure this is the real deal. No true branching yet. Maybe next blooming? (This one is from Ecuagenera.) Cheers, Paul

Paph. fairrieanum ('stunning' x 'Hillsview' FCC/AOS): I really like the dark color of this one. Not quite as nice as the pollen parent, but one of the best I have bloomed. Good growing, Paul

This has been open a couple weeks, and it is perhaps past its' prime, but the color really stands out in the greenhouse. Pretty sure it is from Quintal Farms. Cheers and good growing, Paul

Phrag. Eumelia Arias opened today. I imagine it might reflex some. I'll post an updated photo. Sue Omeis ‘Black Canyon’ is starting to open. I'll try to update later. Cheers, Paul

My Orchid Digest arrived today, and it's "The Phragmipedium Issue". Reading and re-reading this will certainly help me forget my election angst, for a while. Frank Cervera has authored a species checklist, and articles on taxonomy and cultivation. Plus, there's "Breeding for White...
