Is there a list, a book, a website that can tell me what are the sequential bloomers, or the multifloral, or single bloom varieties of paphs. I don't have orchid wiz. Thanks

There are lots of sites to go to. Here is one I like:

The book I like the best is Tropical Slipper Orchids by Harold Koopowitz.

Lance's book - Paphiopedilum Grower's Manual.

I would recommend the paph species page here:
http://www.slipperorchids.info/paphspecies/index.html

Subgenus Cochlopetalum contains the sequential multiflorals. Subgenus Polyantha contains the simultaneous multiflorals. The other 4 subgenera are generally single bloomers (sometimes some examples of some species can have 2 blooms on a single stem, but this is uncommon).

There's a more detailed discussion on the groups in this thread:
