My new paphs

[orchideya]

My Shultz bag seems to be OK, pretty clean and fresh. I use it for large phals(over 5 inch pot), and my only Phrag - pearcei seems to like it too, at least I can see many new roots growing, not much of the foliage though.
I will dare to unpot my new paphs on the weekend and see what is there under surface
Do you use plastic or clay pots with your bark mix?

 

[eggshells]

Yes I do. I use Rands Aircone Pots. I really liked them. But now that I have a coupe of deflasked seedlings and a few flask coming. I dont think its a good idea for me them all in aircone pots. 2" rose pots are just as good.

Montreal show on Saturday March 24th.

Oh, the OrchidExpo of les Orchidphiles des Montreal! LOL I was supposed to help judge the show again this year but too much stuff got in the way. I hope you took some photos for us!

Yep, you are right! Multies started to grow on me. My next one on the wish list is Paph stonei, but I can't find it here in Canada for some reason. Another I would get is Paph. Lady Isabel - it has a stonei parent.

Are you sure you want to grow Paph stonei! My big plant is about 32 inches across and huge with 2 mature growth and 4 new growths on it as well!

Here are a few photos:

Yes, I took lots of pictures.
Here are some:

Paphiopedilum stonei

Paph. Liberty Taiwan

Hybrids from Piping Rock display

Milt. Saffron Surprise

Phrag Mary Bess

Dendro Thonachai Gold

I actually took over two hundred pictures of different plants there, but they are high def and I have to resize each one for the web. I am doing it in batches every day and publishing them here:

I saw a liberty Taiwan on Edmonton show. It was big as a baseball. Really nice. Im a species nut but I'm getting a liberty Taiwan next week.

.. Now I know why you want a stonei! You saw it in person!

 

[Paphman910]

Very beautiful stonei flower! That is why I got a stonei plant and flask! Growing from flask is slow but should pickup this coming summer!

BTW Nice photos of Miltonia, Liberty Taiwan, etc!

I am gettig Liberty Taiwan in April at Ottawa Show.

I saw lots of blooming multies at the show, but stonei and Lady Isabel striked me the most for some reason. I am definitely getting them whenever I find one.

 

[eggshells]

Yes we like stonei so much. Especially the clones that have dark red pouches.

Its great to grow from flask and capture their growth and see the progress! I am too new to dare trying deflasking, but maybe some day I will too.

 

[Paphman910]

Nice Lady Isabel!

It is a beauty! These two plants at the show (stonei and Lady Isabel) are the reason of stonei getting to the very top of my wish list.

You are lucky to see it live! I have not seen it live so I hope to flower my stonei soon!

If you see a rothschildianum live you will drool as well!

Well if you really want one. I may be able to part with one stonei. ( I have three BS ). If you cant really find it.

 

[orchideya]

Eggshells, thank you.
I might have found it though. Glen Decker from Piping Rock said that he has all three that I asked for (stonei, Lady Isabel and Lady Rothschild), he just needs to double check and promised to get back to me next week with sizes and prices.
If it turnes out that he doesn't have stonei, I will ask for yours.
Wow, three BS stoneis, did they bloom for you yet?
