Yes, they're on Facebook and Flickr.

I don't like line breeding in species. To me they are no different to hybrids. I like to preserve natural forms, but this is quite hard in Paphs and it's very rare to find any that have original provenance information.

Autumn is their natural flowering time, which it is here. It's probably about 3 weeks earlier than it would normally flower.

Thanks. I use a light tend, it's best way I'd found to do it. flashes just don't cut it for me. Natural light gives you a colour you can't get from a flash
