Light & Temp reference?

[sailor]

I am looking for a comprehensive reference for light and temp preferences (for paphs & phrags). Does such a source exist?

Here's one:
Phil's Orchid World Paphiopedilum Seasonal Culture
I don't think it has everything though

I like this site slipperorchids.info But it hasn't everything either. What I've done for myself is a special Excel file, where I listed all plants I have with their seasonal light and temperature requirements. It is very useful.

I borrowed "The Genus Paphiopedilum" second edition by Cribb from my society. It has tons of info in it, some info about habitat and growing conditions can be helpful for figuring out cultural requirements. I actually wanted to buy the book but they said they would have to order it from Britain...and it would cost over $100 plus shipping for this heavy thing. Still, the second edition isn't complete because of all these new paph discoveries. It has paph helenae but not paph vietnamense, hangianum, etc. He needs to write a third edition soon.

I bought Slipper Orchids of Vietnam by Averyanov. He describes vietnamense, hangianum and other Vietnamese slippers in detail. The book costed me a lot and I shipped it from London. But I've never regreted that I bought it.
