Yesterday Glen Decker was the speaker at the Orchid Soc. of Minnesota meeting. Needless to say I came back with a few things.

Upper left: Paph henryanum, Upper right: Paph Fanaticum (in bud)
Lower left: Paph Earl Koldyke (concolor x emersonii)(in bud), Lower right: Paph charlesworthii

We also stopped at Orchids, Ltd. and we picked up:
Paph sukhakulii, nice size
Paph charlesworthii
Bulbophyllum odoratissimum

I sure would love to hear Glen Decker speak. What was the topic?

I like your selection of plants. I like the bulbo also, but wonder what it is planted it.

The topic was Phrag. kovachii
The Bulbo is mounted on a hydrolog

Sounds like a good day. Do you have/pick up any kovachii!?

Glen had some nice looking kovachii hybrids, but none of the straight species. Many were blooming size with a couple even showing what appeared to be sheaths down in the crown. Unfortunately, I had already blown my budget on the four plants above. I am, after all, exactly what my moniker says: a paphreek!

Yeah but you could have made the phragmipedilum kovachii cross :drool:
