[Kavanaru]

I had found this link a while ago, but had lost it until now that it was posted inanother forum. Maybe you are interested in some photos of Paph bellatulumgrowing in the wild and some of the ecosystem where it grows. Go to the Gallery "Looking for Paph bellatulum": http://www.theorchidman.com/

thanks a lot for this link Ramon!!!! I found this bellatulum trip extremely interesting, giving a good view of where they are able to grow, and bloom !!!!
Pic 37 is IMO a great bloom growing without judges around ! !


Thanks again !!!! Jean

Beautiful bellas, in the wild, I'd put most of them up in front of a judging panel!

Wonderful. Thanks for the link. A friend, Carl Austin, who participates in this forum is thinking about organizing a trip to south east asia. Sure is tempting after seeing this site.

Interesting site, but I found it very slow to load, even with a fast connection.

And welcome to Slippertalk, petergw!

Raod Trip

If anyone is seriously interested in seeing these plants in the wild a special 'Slippertalk' trip could be organised. And if its Paphs particularly that members would like to see then I also know of some other sites where they can be seen in Thailand. I also know of two nurseries in Northern Thailand which specialise in selling Paph species and hybrids - so a trip could include a visit to these nurseries where members could buy plants.

if you put your mouse over the music thing in the upper right, you can turn it off
