A Couple of Older Awarded Complex Paphs

[Ross]

I've posted previous blooms of these two. This is the best blooming of the Paph Bell Ringer 'Brocade' AM/AOS I've had. Larger, multiple growth plants do tend to produce better flowers. The Brown Glen has bloomed a little better in the past.

Paph Bell Ringer 'Brocade' AM/AOS - Awarded in 1954, when I was less than a year old.

Paph Brown Glen 'Stonehenge' HCC/AOS - Awarded in 1972, the year I graduated High School.

I haven't seen the Bell Ringer for years, my Uncle used to have that clone and was always a reliable flowerer for him.
The Brown Glen I think is/was used in breeding a lot, nice flower.
Both still nice for sure.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. It's interesting to see how complex Paphs have evolved.
