Hello All
This is my first post here. I have only recently started growing Paphs.
I have a short presentation at my local orchid society. Most of our newbies are phal and paph growers on windowsills. Most have started out classically with some Maudiae hybrid.
However, Google has not been of much help because my query might have been worded wrong; and the AnTech lab pages are beginning to have broken/missing links.
Please tell me the differences between the different color forms of maudiae-type hybrids -- specifically the difference between coloratum and flamea types.
I understand the alba --green and white types
And I think I understand the vini-color types = without any white and green?
It is those inbetween types --coloratum, and flamea-- I need help with.
Pictures would help immensely for me to get my mind around, and maybe something I would be allowed to share with my society would be nice, too, however it is not necessary.
I have posted this where I frequent the most (being a cattleya grower), so if you have seen this post already, please forgive. I have been given some info., but realized that this is the place I should have offered my questions first.
Thanks a million for your time and trouble to consider my query.
