I visited G. Schmidt last wednesday (to buy my christmas present) at his nursery in Nalinnes ( near Charleroi in Belgium ), one of the best adresses in Belgium for paphs IMHO!
(For the members of the german DOG-forum: sorry to show about the same pics here but I only took the time to shoot some pics)
One of those lovely large perrots that gave the name to the nursery
(Amazone):
into the jungle:
lots of large plants to be seen:
the place where I always spend most of my time there:
Vandas:
Cycnodes Taiwan Gold:
Ancistrochilus rothschildianus amidst the paphs (this one went home with me):
Paph micranthum X jackii:
Paph Dr. Jack X fairrieanum:
Paph Apple Blossom X philippinense:
Paph lawrenceanum and co:
Gérard Schmidt:
from the outside, you would not guess all these beauties inside :
I found quite some nice paphs:
insigne sanderae with bud, concolor, leucochilum, helenae, and especially a very nice large bs plant of Paph René Klinge ( roth.x anitum ) !!
Arrived home again, I found that the RHS register included roth x anitum as Wössner Black Wings reg. by Fr. Glanz in april 2009!

I contacted Gérard by mail and he confirmed yesterday that he had tried to have his plant registered in oct. 2008, and was told that anitum had to be considered as a var. of adductum, so the name could only be valid for this var.!? For him René Klinge is the original name and he is waiting for the correction at RHS now.
Anyway I hope to see the plant spiking in a few months as he some of them bearing large spikes (but those were not for sale)
