Wow, those are some beautiful paphs! You did a great job picking them out!  I have always been partial to phals but lately I've been going nuts with the slippers. I just can't resist their pouch and little faces.  Lucky you! |

By the way, Meijer has a new one in stock - almost black! Just thought I'd pass this along.  And it's not even full out yet. |

Ok ok .. I guess you can't give alway all your secrets .. rats - (said under my breath)...  I have about 30ish orchids in front of a bay window - everything from cochleanthes, species and hybrid phals and catts (b. nodosa hybrids), masdies, a few small phrags, sophronitis, laelia, eurychone, and some others I'm forgetting 
Come on out .. have you ever been to Planting Fields in Oyster Bay .. they have a nice greenhouse full of orchids  |

I wasn't trying to correct you, just thinking out loud. I get confused easily. The plant actually was at one time chamberlainianum var liemianum as you posted. At any rate those are all making me  ! |

Most of my relatives who lived in Brooklyn and on the Island have either moved or died so I only get inot the city because of my daughter. And, no I've never been to that GH but would like to check it out....something to do. Sounds like you have a nice collection. I'm trying to change my collection because I became too wrapped up in a single type of orchid and that got boring ....
