[QUOTE="dustywoman, post: 14461"] Heather, the sale was in Maine, so it would have been a distance for you. I did let Peter (greenpaph) know, but he couldn't make it. I will post a photo of the unknown paph, as it is a nice large healthy one. I'm debating whether to take them out of their clay pots, as I'm used to clear pots. Also, many of the Paph pots had hooks on them as they were grown hanging on the walls. The plants are so well taken care of and so healthy, I just might leave them alone as they seem so happy. It was interesting to see how they grew their Phrags; especially the besseaes. It was like they created a mini environment for them. (They had lots of growing room) The besseaes were in these huge pots with a resevoir of water under the pots. Then there was the growing medium on top and lots of moss. Since I already have a few besseaes, I opted to buy one of the less expensive pots. Now, I'm kicking myself, as they had a pot of the yellow ones for $25. <groan> Their Masdevelia (excuse my spelling - I know it's wrong) collection was to die for. But I didn't get any, as I cannot grow them and did not want to harm any of those beautifully grown plants. I'm still having dreams about the sale! Can't wait to see these in bloom. [/QUOTE]
