My contirbution to Ross's thread on compact Paphs. This is Paph Barbilight (Barbi Playmate x Nu-Light). Paph barbigerum was a grandparent of Barbilight, but the plant still remains relatively compact. Kay Rinaman and Nu-Light are the complex Paph contributions. It is planted in a Yi-Xing pot, roughly 3inch diameter at the base (the root zone is mostly 3 inches in diameter) 4 1/2 inches diameter at the lip, and about 5 inches tall. I plan on trying to develop this plant as a multi-growth specimen, and do so keeping in this pot. We'll see if I am able to 'bonsai' this Paph. Time will tell.
