Pretty excited about these... https://paphparadise.com/product/mexipedium-xerophyticum-2/ I wonder why people don't have seedlings for sale very often?

This just got awarded in Southern California...thoughts? Paph. fairrieanum 'Vinh Huy Nguyen' FCC/AOS

Hi All, My plants are growing very well, and I have had time to make a list of divisions of things. As greenhouse inventory is being completed over the next few weeks, I expect this list will grow significantly, and I will bump this thread with major changes. The list may be found here...

Harold overproduced two crosses and asked me to help sell a few. Flasks contain about 20 seedlings, and are $150 each. 1. Paph. lowii ('Albino Beauty' x 'Krull-Smith') x self; these are second generation, and should produce 50% improved albino lowii. 2. Paph. Baby Boo Boo 'Green...

Not seen this hybrid before - a unique color in multis, and 5-6 flowers per infl on the 6 plants I saw in bloom.

Unusual to find a particularly good one, but at OZ...

Two nice ones from OZ with very wide petals: 2.4 cm PW, 28 cm NS 2.3 cm PW, 29 cm NS

Very dark one at OZ Sorry about the poor quality photo...I was too excited!

First I've seen other than 'Pistachio', this one's grandparent...

Thought this one had pretty nice color:

Hello all, I've had a request for some information regarding the first awards to paph species named since 1980 or so. The request asked for the first award to each "new" species and the country in which the award was given. I built the linked list below from AOS, TPS, JOGA, TOGA, and RHT data...

Hi, I wonder if you all might help me. A quick search of ST did not find a recent thread on this topic; if there is one I'm not aware of a link would be great. At our annual AOS judging business meeting, we heard that the AOS currently has about 8600 members, down from a peak of 30000 members...

A mix of years 1962 or so to 1979 in 3/4 a paper ream box; few complete years. If you are after specific issues from this time frame please pm and I can see if I have it. These are my extras and I need to make some space.

I am in the process of putting together a presentation on antique complexes for the Paph Guild Meeting in Santa Barbara in January and ran across this image while researching Sir George Holford and his grower H.G. Alexander. Their contributions to orchids are legion, including, among many...

Just the other day I finished what I think is a pretty remarkable presentation on antique complex paphs for a presentation to the Phipps Conservatory (who's trying to start a collection) in Pittsburg. I got to thinking that such a thing would be pretty well-received among the members here...

A few more; I've got a little bit still in bud, but we're winding down for sure... Another shot of everyone in flower... Via Ojai 'Winter Moon' HCC/AOS, a cross of Freckles and Hellas, and one of many awarded Via Ojais, the pinnacle of US white breeding for nearly 20 years. Via Ojai...

Lots in bloom these days... Part of the Greenhouse Vintage Harvest 'Chardonnay' B/CSA, a cross of the formidable English breeder Chianti 'Chilton' x Golden Acres, with beautiful color. Sunset 'Alpha' AM/RHS, a cross of Earl of Chester x Maudiae, winner of the George Moore Medal...

I won my first ODC trophy this weekend at the Cape and Islands Show with this display. A good friend loaned me the pots, which are hand-made and raku (sp?) glazed. Many ppl said they loved them - they look like wood but are not. I think they set off the plants perfectly and I was pretty...

Both of these are first blooms. First is Ernest Hetherington x Queen of Hearts, so a pretty introgressed hybrid of Winston Churchill and Valwin a great deal of color from Jim Iverson, a nice deep red. Dorsal is a little cuppy, but a wonderful flower from a weak plant, NS 11.0 cm, PW 6.2 cm...

My last insigne still in flower late this year, this plant originates from Veitch in the late 1880s and was widely distributed in the early UK orchid scene. In many early RHS awards the clones used as parents are noted, and insigne 'Chantinii' appears frequently. There is an insigne sanderae...
