I do get envious sometimes at how readily available Paphs are in the US etc and how cheap the prices are. In Australia, many Paphs are hard to come by and the prices can be astronomical. Check out the price this single growth wilhelminiae went for on eBay. It left me gobsmacked.

I actually have a plant from this cross which I paid about $20 for. It took me 4 or so years to flower but now it is a 6 growth plant currently in bud again for the third time. Clearly it is a much more vigorous clone than the one sold on eBay. What does that make my plant worth - $500 +
Here is how mine turned out earlier this year.
