I haven't visited this forum in a loooooooooong time so first of all Happy New year to all !

here are the Beauty and the Beast (paph venustum var measuresianum)

one of my favorite Fanaticums

a paph Nitens (insigne x villosum)

and this is not a paph but I love it, sophronitis grandiflora

That venustum is magnificent and I love the others too.

Wow, that fanaticum looks like a malipoense to me....I wouldn't have guessed it. Love the Soph! Such amazing plants!

 

[SlipperFan]

I love the Fanaticum, but the colors on the Soph. are stunning.

Awesome collection! I love that Fanaticum and Soph.

That Fanaticum is very green. but the staminode shows a hint of micranthum. Very different!

Sophronitis is not easy to grow. Well done.

Hi Lilo!!!! Nice to have news from you again!!! We missed your pics!!! Cool sophronitis too, btw!!! Jean

 

[Sangii]

thanks all !

this sophronitis is a personal challenge as it is supposed to hate the warm conditions we have here in southern France. this one though has been happily growing here for a few years and I hope to keep it for a lot more years !
