Seems our dear Paphs are more lithophytes than terrestrials.
You knew this all along... your rocks + leaf litter mix and all. Give yourself some credit.

micranthum seems to live in drier area than malipoense. It is thick leaf around malipoense (it is reall varies depend on location), if you lift the leaf up, you can find small worm ...etc... under there. It is soaking wet if you visit them during the rain season, if you visit them during the dry season, It is still wet under there. If there is enough interest, next time i will bring a small camcorder, I will do a short clip of soild, tree and look into roots system of these plants. (I rather carry an extra water bottle than a camcorder if you know what i mean)Thanks for the pictures. Seems our dear Paphs are more lithophytes than terrestrials. Hmm... Did you observe much about their growth habit: how the roots rooted on the substrate? How thick was the leaf litter around those Parvies?
Jean,would be interesting to know how much time those malipo need to spike and flower!!!
:sob:I have heard in south-eastern part of China, when the villagers cannot find enough grass to feed their cow, they feed their cows Paph. micranthum and ameniacum. There are that many wild Paphs. .
Kevin,Cool! Could you tell me what are the plants in #5, 9 and 10?

I don't know if the story is real though. If I was from there, I would make sure to take out Paph. micranthum var. alba before I feed the cows.
