Man are you getting picky Heather.

 

[Heather]

I am picky, you are so right!

 

[cdub]

Dang you guys are making want to turn to the dark side of multiflorals with all this talk about philippinense and michael koopowitz. Love that heather. Can't wait to see it open!

 

[Heather]

Chris,
This is a WEE plant at 11" with multiple mature growths.
It is not a kolopakingii type!

oke:
Buy one!

 

[Rick]

I am picky, you are so right!

I get pretty picky too, but everytime my wife catches me, she bashes me for giving the plants a complex:sob:

 

[Greenpaph]

Heather,

Is it a first time bloomer?

 

[NYEric]

Man, there's a guy on eBay w/ all these sanderanium hybrids and other larger multi-growth multi-floral Paphs. If I have any money left over after paying bills and practice I am going to seriously think of getting some of these guys. See these pictures are dangerous. :wink:

 

[Gideon]

Lovely Heather, I can't wait to see it, I have he same cross

 

[NYEric]

I get pretty picky too, but everytime my wife catches me, she bashes me for giving the plants a complex:sob:

Ha, I'm kind of picky too, and everytime my gir;friend catches me she hits me in the ribs and says stop looking at other women!

 

[Heather]

I'm not thrilled with the way this is opening. I don't like that the sheath has turned brown before the plant has even fully opened it's first bud (of three) but maybe I am being sensitive.

Bad photo, I just do not have a good place to photograph plants right now. Sorry!

I think you can at least see the color tho.

Looks good so far! Be thankfull it's not randsii, then it wouldn't just be the sheath turning brown before the flower opens, but parts of the sepals too.

[Heather]

Oh...christ....why do I adore randsii again? I think I may be the only one....Sigh....

 

[Heather]

hey, what are you doing online?
You're supposed to be out partying on your b-day! Geesh!

 

[SlipperFan]

I dunno. It looks pretty good for me so far.

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]
