Two new paphs joined my collection today.
blooming sized PEOY and seedling sanderianum(to replace the one that died last year):

Thank you everybody for nice comments!
According to vendor - sandie is 3 years from blooming, which is not that long in the paphs world. I just need to make sure I don't kill it before that.
:)
 
I'm mighty jealous of your PEoY... Mine is a runt with maybe four years left before it reaches BS. :p
 
Thanks!
Both are from Piping Rock.
I repotted them yesterday. Sandie had nice roots comparing to his size.
PEOY's media was quite old and many roots peeled off, but there are some more firm and healthy. Hope it will be ok.
Since I killed previous sanderianum seedling in bark and generally hate bark - I potted these two guys into clay pots with mix of CHC with small rocks that I picked out(one-by-one!) from old media.
This is how most of my paphs(but not multis) grow and they seem ok.
Was it a bad idea?

Also after re-potting I have noticed that PEOY had a hint of starting maybe a spike. Is it doomed now since I repotted it?


Thanks again.
 
Thanks guys!
Here is my Prince Edward repotted:
