Lots happening at Ross's!

Fantastic grouping.

 

[Elena]

Excellent group! I'm a big fan of white complexes so it's a real treat to see a few next to one another.

Excellent show !!

Two things to note, one is quite obvious:
1. Note the change in size and shape as the registration dates get newer.
2. Note the taller stems on the FC Puddle crosses as compared to the Skip Bartlett crosses. Skip Bartlett, being half godefroyae (godefroyae x FC Puddle), not only imparts rounder form, but also a shorter stem.

Ross, you know I love the pure whites. I'm almost afraid to say it out loud but I'm going to. You need to save me a division of the Paph. White Queen 'Kathleen' HCC/AOS. That being said, it looks like a single growth and I'm sure it would be out of my price range. After all I just enjoy them for their beauty and you breed with them. Nice grouping of whites and thanks for sharing the photo with us.

Interesting.
I don't think you can beat White Queen.

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Love them all! I'm generally not that much of a fan of white orchids, but I love white paphs....and the photo proves that even the oldest are still good. Take care, Eric

What a lovely grouping!

 

[Roy]

The group seems to have sorted out which plants they want Ross, so just send me the back row. Thanks.

I think this is a great history lesson Ross.:clap::clap:
