Default GIGANTIC Paph.

This is a new cross from Orchids of Los Osos that was at the San Diego orchid show today.I had to take this picture to share, the flower was about 14" across and a wonder full yellow color.

P. Dollgoldi seedlings have been available for the best part of 10 years, maybe more. Definately not a new cross, maybe just newer parents.

Me, being a not so knowledgable orchid grower ,could be told anything about orchids, and I probably would believe it, if it makes sense, he did not explain to me why or how it got so big.I guesed as to the age of the plants he was selling but the price tag was $85.00 and they were in about 5" pots.
