Meanwhile back at Home Depot.

Went back to my HD where I got that great Paph White Knight a couple of weeks ago found somemore Paphs, the first one no tag but I know it's a rothschildianum 2 blooms and a new growth. The second is Paph. Happy Hill X Lauren Klehm, great looking bloom and plant, there's a little damage on the right petal from packing. Now these plants were $25.00 ea. but I had a
2 for 1 coupon so they were $12.50 ea. can't beat that..... Jim.

Are you sure that is a rothschildianum?? P. GR

 

[SlipperFan]

$12.50 for a multifloral in bloom? Insane!

 

[John M]

That's a GREAT deal! Wow! However, that's not a pure roth. Most notably, the staminode is wrong. 'Looks like it could be a St. Swithin or some other hybrid involving both roth and philippinense.

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

I wish my HD could be so awesome. All I find are stupid virused phals.

 

[carrilloenglish]

That's crazy.... a multi-floral at Home Depot. Wow. And for 12.50. Man, some poeple are lucky.

I am pretty sure it is Saint Swithin though and not roth.

Enjoy it.

Could also be Gary Ramagna like I hint at in my post. Impossible to tell. The shape of the dorsal looks more like SS but from the pictures the proportions and color remind me of the Gary Ramagnas I have seen. If you grow it well and bloom it with more flowers and have measurements will give a better idea but still no way to be sure.

Is this the HD on 75th & rt59 Jim???

[Orchidzrule]

Damn, why don't any of the Home Depots in my part of the world ever carry paphs???

 

[rdlsreno]

I agree!

If I start to see you posting about finding Paph Magic lantern x Fanaticum at Home Depot for $12.50, I'll drive out to Ill.!

 

[Hera]

My HD only carries ill, no name phals

 

[eOrchids]

Yea. That looks to be Paph. St. Swithin!

But wow, every orchid lover dream!!! A home depot that sells multifloral paphs!!!

 

[JeanLux]

great purchase Jim!!! Jean

 

[GuRu]

That's a bargain even if the first one isn't a pure roth.
Best regards from germany, rudolf

 

[jblanford]

Yes Ernie that's the one. I went back and looked at some photos I have of my St. you guys could be right, the pouch on this one is alot darker like a roth, but the petals are long like a St., here's another pic, thanks for all the help..... Jim.

 

[Mrs. Paph]

Nice finds - even if it's no-name, the price was right if you've got the space I'm with the others, how come your home depot has more than sick Phals and Dends? Maybe someone cut a deal with the store to get rid of their Paphs with lost or uncertain name tags!

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Too crazy! Who woulda thunk HD would have stuff like that?!!
