I really love both dianthum and parishii.

 

[RandyT]

Simply stunning! I've been struggling with a very small piece of parishii for years so I'm very jealous.

 

[Secundino]

Beautiful!

 

[SlipperKing]

Both nice.
RandyT, have you tried basket culture? Works well for me

Very nice I like both stunning species

I'd love to see the results of crossing these two. I understand it had been done, named and registered: Paph. Rydeen from Mochizuki Orchids. Does anyone have one?

Very nice, great to compare. Thanks for sharing.

Rick,
No, I've never tried basket culture for Paphs. Sounds like an idea, very few roots now, but finally some root tips after years.
