I should have posted these on the previous Paph Forum thread but didn’t think about it until after I started this one.

Was good to see you there also and thanks for introducing me to others.

Thanks for sharing these. They are much better than the ones I took.

Also, the bonsai were amazing. After seeing those, I am feeling compelled to give one a try.

was certainly nice connecting faces and online personas...

Thanks for sharing. A 72 in a 50MPH ticket put the kibosh on the trip this year!

Cool. And not too unreasonably priced too: https://paphparadise.com/product/paphiopedilum-otto-wonder/

The one in bloom was $1500.00

Man, Phrags can get HUGE! That giant one would take up half of my winter "greenhouse". Fantastic plants.

Funny that most Japanese people wouldn't know that bonsai in America (and elsewhere) are grown every bit as expertly as in Japan. Very nice indeed.

As far as I’m concerned several of the best bonsai artists in the world are from the USA. I’ve got 9 or 10 more bonsai pictures if anyone wants to see them.
