I agree. This meets my definition of compact/mini! I will be looking for this guy shortly. Thanks for sharing.

All of you know that I don't do Paphs well :nono: but
after managing to kill every one I had...Paph St Swithin is the only survivor! It has 3 or 4 fans and looks good but still no sign of spikes :(

:backtotop

That's a great looking Paph! I've been looking for a place around here to buy some. Thanks for the pic!

Tried to find one on web and seems Rob (Littlefrog) is the only close one saying he has it and I wonder how recent that was? Must contact.

Marc, that's a great clon of St. Swithin... where did you get it from in Germany? That your plant is a compact grower, makes it very interesting... The ones I know are actually quite large (leave more in the 50 - 60 cm long)...

Ross, most St. Swithin's I've seen are much, much larger than this. If you don't get exactly the same clone as this, don't count on it staying this small.

Agree with Shannan, they can be huge monsters... but gorgeous monsters, anyway :)

Compact...is the way to go for us light growers, here's a couple pics of mine last June, LS 34" spike about 24". They are great plants and the flowers are awesome.
Jim.

Jim, where did you get yours from?

:drool: Just gorgeous, this is 1 of my top 5 favs!
I would not define these to be compact, certainly not smaller growers in my grow area.

I would love to have a compactie :)
Shop carefully Ross :coverlaugh:
