    Paph haynaldianum

    I have had this plant a long time. A very slow grower. I think I last flowered it 5 years ago. It has a very long spike (80 cm).

    Paph rothschildianum

    Probably my best growing roth but one of my poorer flowers. Flowers are small and the colour and shape are nothing special. But even still, it looks pretty nice this year. Paph rothschildianum (Western Springs x Janet FCC/AOC)

    Paphiopedilum William Ambler 'Carob' HCC/AOC

    I have flowered this a few times now, but probably not as good as this.

    Paph Lady Isobel

    It is great to see my avatar has finally flowered again after many years. The plant went backwards and it has taken a while to re-establish it. It is a wonderful clone, although nowhere near its best in this flowering.

    Paph praestans

    In flower again. There is another spike coming, although it is way behind.

    Paph Delrosi 'Bessie' HCC/AOS and Delrosi 'Florafest' AM/AOC

    It is rare for me to flower one of these, let alone two at once. In fact, I bought the 'Bessie' clone in 2010, flowered it in 2012 and it hasn't flowered since until now. Pretty similar looking flowers. Paph Delrosi 'Bessie' HCC/AOS Paph Delrosi 'Florafest' AM/AOC

    Paph St Swithin

    Probably my best St Swithin. Paph St Swithin (phillipinense 'TN-7' x rothschildianum 'TN-Lion')

    Paphiopedilum Mrs. Reginald Young

    The label on this plant is Paph Formosa Lady (Susan Booth 'Red' x sanderianum 'Sam Tsui') but clearly it is not that. I am pretty confident it is lowii x sanderianum. The ovary is white. The person I bought it off said he never ever bought this cross, so it is a bit of a mystery. Not sure if one...

    DEGARMOARA PINOT PRINCESS 'SCARY'

    I have recently got into these Brassia inter-generic hybrids. This is one of the better ones. The flowers are very big, about the size of my hand, incredibly dark and held on a very thick erect spike. DEGARMOARA PINOT PRINCESS 'SCARY'

    Paphiopedilum Oberhausen's Rubin

    Third time I have flowered it and first time I have got 3 flowers. It is a very slow grower. Orchid Zone breeding. The petals are 27 cm in length. Paph Oberhausen's Rubin (sanderianum 'Ray' x wilhelminiae 'Black Magic')

    Paph St Swithin 'Summer Storm' HCC/AOC

    A nice dark form of St Swithin with relatively horizontal petals.

    Paphiopedilum PEOY 'Jules' AM/AOC

    This was the orchid that got me hooked into multi-floral Paphs. Twenty-three years ago, I had just joined our local orchid society. I went to our Spring Show and this plant won grand champion. I had never heard of multifloral Paphs before, let alone seen one in the flesh. I thought it was the...

    Paphiopedilum rothschildianum 'Black Eagle' x 'Giant Wings'

    A first flowering seedling of this TON cross. I am absolutely rapt with how this one has turned out. Good size (NS 28 cm, DS 5.5 cm), presentation and excellent colour. I have flowered 11 roths now and I think I would rank this one second overall and the best in terms of colour. It is a pretty...

    What Paph is this?

    The label says Susan Booth x sanderianum (Formosa Lady), but it clearly is not that. It has 4 buds on a very compact plant. Seems to have a lot of lowii influence although the bud and ovary is predominantly white. I guess time will tell in the end but keen to hear your thoughts.

    Paph Bel Royal 'Memoria Terry Turner' AM/AOS

    The beast is in flower again. I really need to buy a bigger backdrop. This is the best it has flowered. Two spikes of six flowers. I really thought I was going to get 7 flowers in that taller spike as the bract in the final flower was huge. But I just got a taller spike with bigger flowers. Our...

    Cymbidium erythrostylum

    First time I have flowered this beautiful species from Vietnam. It is a selfing of the 'Magnifiicum' clone.

    Corysanthes hispida 'Wulgulmerang' FCC/AOC, ACE/AOC

    I got a nice surprise yesterday when my Helmet Orchid received an FCC Award. There was a judges workshop this weekend in Canberra, and I was asked to bring this plant to be judged after it was seen at our societies monthly meeting last week. I was hopeful it may get some award as the flowers are...

    Paphiopedilum philippinense var roebelenii 'Coco' AM/AOC

    My Paphiopedilum philippinense var roebelenii 'Coco' AM/AOC flowered with 3 spikes (16 flowers) this year including 6 flowers on one spike for the first time. The best this plant has ever flowered. And who is this Coco deserving of having this orchid named in their honor? My loyal...

    What is causing my leaves to die off prematurely

    I am pulling my hair trying to work out what to do with this problem. It is causing havoc with my collection. Below is a leaf of one of my roths. On the bottom side of the leaf, there are all circular marks on the leaves. The result is the leaves die back prematurely as you can see from the...

    Paphiopedilum Bel Royal 'Memoria Terry Turner' AM/AOC

    I am really happy with this flowering. After many attempts, this plant finally has got past 5 flowers. A taller spike as well with better spaced flowers. Certainly better than when it got awarded. An absolute beast of a plant. It is even bigger than the 2nd photo suggests.
