Never said that. I do it to myself so I accept that I miss out on some stuff.

Hi!

Just a quick update on the three Paph. Angela plants that I recently purchased from Krull-Smith. Here's the first one:

The second one here has the largest flowers:

The third one has the best shape in my opinion:

Best Regards,
Nik

They're beautiful!! The third one you can really see the fairrieanum! They are gorgeous!

BTW- my little second bud has flipped over! Cool process!

 

[JeanLux]

very nice Nick; esp. like the 3rd one too!!! Are the flowers completely open?? Jean

The first one is very cupped, but I don't think it will open any further. The second one isn't very flat, but again, it's about as open as it's gonna get. The third one is open and the flattest of the three. It's also my favorite one.

Maybe w/ more air flow, more humidity?

Nik, they are very nice. I can see why you would prefer the third one but I find that there's something about the second one that's very appealing to me. The more delicate colour, perhaps. Still, great blooms!

Beautiful flowers! Another thing, there's an amazing resemblance between Paph. Angela and Cyp. Irene:

What!? All slippers look alike!? :viking:

What!? All slippers look alike!? :viking:

...especially besseae hybrids...:evil: (Joking, Eric!)

Actually, the first one would look the best if it were fully open. Maybe on the next bloom....does it have a 2nd bud? Eric

No, it doesn't. But the other two paphs do have a second bud coming.

I have an old, beat up, one from the CHinatown discount vendor in my collection. Next time Krull-Smith has an offer for those I'm going to jump on it!
