which paph

[BillieG]

I like to buy things in spike, so that if they never bloom again at least I had it once, lol. However, they are always more expensive. What type of orchids grow fast and flower often?

I do too. or even better, ones in bloom so I know what I'm buying. This is especially true for seed grown paphs as they can look so different from one another.

For paphs, hybrid groups called maudiae grows quite fast and flowers about twice or three times a year. Each time, they last for about three months too.

I love them.

Then I have Armeni White, which is a cross between Delenatii and Armeniacum and this plant is sending up its third spike since last September!

Many of the oncidium hybrids bloom twice a year.
Certain Cattleya hybrids also bloom twice a year or more.
