Hey all, I'm trying to hunt down a division of Varvara 'Penn Valley' HCC/AOS. Any leads? Im focusing my current collecting on vintage Paphs (especially mottle-leafed types) so other divisions are welcome for suggestion too.

Hello everyone. I haven't been on here for years, but now that I am done with medical school, I hope to have more time. My collection is still doing well and I have added some great new things. This is a first bloom seedling of Paph. Ruby Wonder that I bought from the OZ last year. I broke...

Hey all. Its been a few years since I have been active here, but my collection is back up and running. So, I saw this on eBay tonight. I thought it was so disturbing. This plant in the photos is DEFINITELY not an alba...and it is obviously not because of the coloration of the leaves...

Hi all, Its been a couple of years since I have been active on this site... still growing a few plants since offloading much of my collection ... life has been intensely busy. Now things are slowing down and I am back to growing and even have been doing a bit of breeding! ;) I have a...

Fellow Slippertalkers: After being laid off of work at my relatively new job (no need to expound on the economy!) this past week, I have had to make a very important decision...I will be selling most of my Paph collection. :mad: I will keep only a few plants, ones of great sentimental value...

Hey all! Its been eons since Ive posted anything on here. So I took a photo today and thought I'd post again. This is the one of only 2 divisions of one of Nick Tannaci's top breeders. I bought the entire cultivar this last fall and have been waiting to see the flower. The other division...

Woodrose 'Echo' AM/AOS - I bent one of the petals so it is leaning forward a bit, but still nice. And one of my favorites: (Mystic Isle x emersonii) 'Jeanie' HCC/AOS. THis one was awarded last April and I am lucky enough to have bought the entire clone. It is wonderfully fragrant and bigger...

Hey all, I haven't been around for a couple of months...but Im back with pics. Hope you enjoy. This is Color My World 'Shocker' which is S. Gratrix x Winston Churchill. I bought this from Hadley early this past summer and it is just opening now. It is a very strong grower and is fertile...

After caucusing with a few of you re; s/h, bark mixes, etc., I am wondering about this Aussie Gold stuff I have read about. I see that it is expensive and it seems that people haven't had consistent results with it. What say you fellow slipper fans? Im am thinking of getting some, maybe adding...

Not to sound like some Chemistry.com advertisement, :poke: but...I found this thread today. Its great to know who we are all talking to. Check it out and add your photo if you have one handy. Sorry to use a thread here on the Paph Photo page, but since it seems to be the most used...and we...

:mad: I know, I know...I committed one of the worst crimes in orchid growing. I left plants in another growers mix!!! I usually always take a plant out of its growing media and put it in mine since I know how it reacts to my environment. Anyway, I purchased several complex paph seedlings from a...

I haven't put this question to the forum because to be quite honest, I just haven't worried about it until recently... OK, so I was at the WOC and bought 3 NBS emersonii plants from a wonderful gentleman. He only had the three so I grabbed all of them! Yes, it is true...I am known to hoard...

Look at this bad boy! I repotted today as I have 2 old, 2 3/4, and 3 new shoots starting to come out and didn't want to wait any longer to get it out of the pot. LOOK AT THE ROOTS ON THIS GUY! I swear this plant is half Paph and half battle tank. Its a monster :clap: Sorry its...

Hi all other slipper fanatics. I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been growing paphs since i was 15 years old - Paph. insigne. I have now developed quite an extensive collection of plants/flasks/compots. My latest purchase was a division of kolopaingii 'Riopelle' FCC that I bought...
