A couple of paphs for your viewing.

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Here are two of the many paphs. that are starting to bloom in the green house. First is Paph. bellatulum that was breed by Orchid Inn. It was made using 'Yellow Bird' x 'Yellow Sunset'. I had so hoped that it would have passed on the light yellow to it's offspring. It bloomed last year and I didn't even post it as I was so disappointed that it did not come out yellow. Here is a photo of it's second blooming.

Next is one of the whites that are now blooming. As you can see it is a clone of Dottie McDowell. I purchased this plant in Jan. in bloom from Hadley Cash of Marriott Orchids at the World Orchid Conference.

Fellow paph. growers, just let me know if anyone wants to make an appointment to view my collection. Then after that we can make the hour or so ride to Piping Rock to add to our collections.

I really like the yellow tinged bellatulums too, but that is still a beauty. Nice white too. I have just recently bought a few whites...for me it was an aquired taste, but now I love them! Good Growing!

Bob, if you really don't like your Paph. bellatulum you can send it to me. I think it looks fantastic! Such a lovely full shape and such attractive marroon freckles.

The other one is nice too.

If I was you I wouldn't have been disappointed. That's a nice P. bellatulum with a good shape and the maroon dots are in the right size and amount. So the contrast between them and the white/ivory ground colour is nice to see.
Thankx for the invitation to visit your collection but alas I can't come, I'm too busy at the moment.

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

I think they're beautiful! The bellatulum is gorgeous! I understand your being disappointed if you expected the yellow, but it's a beauty, still! I would love to see your collection etc., but my life is a little crazy right now. You're right in my back yard!
