When I got my Psy. I got a paph (maudiae alba) and a catt. I have since discovered that my paph did grow a bud sheaf but it has stopped growing for some reason but I looked down the crown and there is a new leaf or sheaf emerging which is what made me order some more. I have done just that by ordering another two paphs from schwerter - Hung Sheng Venus which is the most beautiful paph ever!! and a Wardii Album which is in bud and growing rapidly. I also ordered two from Ratcliffe -Venustum alba and Wardii alba. I do love slippers especially green alba forms. I got a Parishii and a Venustum alba from Elsner. I just hope that I can get them to bloom for me. I have had paphs in the past that I bought in the supermarket in flower and I was very successful with them but this will be the first time that I will have bloomed one from scratch. Pray for me..
