CCE/AOS :-)
Hi all other slipper fanatics. I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been growing paphs since i was 15 years old - Paph. insigne. I have now developed quite an extensive collection of plants/flasks/compots. My latest purchase was a division of kolopaingii 'Riopelle' FCC that I bought directly from one of my biggest heros in the orchid world, Marie Riopelle herself. It has 2 bloomed growths and 2 nearly mature so I will have awesome photos hopefully this coming spring/summer.
My other prized possessions are: a compot of parishii that I am selfishly hoarding all to myself :clap:, a recently awarded (april) emersonii hybrid, some cutting edge complexes, and a henryanum alba that is stunning! I think I am going to try to find a highly awarded henryanum to cross it with and do a 2 step to get an even better alba.
Also, I am moving to Austin TX in the next few months for graduate school so any growers in TX, be sure to say hi. I would love to hear from you and any advice as to growing in the heat.
Well, I do hope to find a great community here - lots of growing support, lots of great pictures, and good times.
