Look what Diane shipped up from Krull-Smith while she was on vacation!
niveum 'Ponkan' x fairrieanum 'Krull-Smith'

I ordered this one and two others. . .posting separately!

Angela came with double buds! I can't wait to see this one open!

Ooh...I can feel your excitement!! That's going to be a real beauty! LOVE that fine pink spotting!

I love that combo as well. I have a mini Paph niveum that has similar coloration and multiple blossoms. A real joy.

Guess what I just received!!!!!! A seedling Paph niveum! My buddy that I work with, Diane brought it back from World of Orchids in Florida!

Ooooh, it's so cute. . .I love it!

Wow!

That sure is fabulous Gwen. Congrats to you!

I'm definitely adding this one to my wish list.

It's a beauty. I love the coloring. I have an Angela (niveum ‘ Hsinton’ X fairrieanum ‘Clark’) Mine is much lighter than yours. It's pretty but I prefer the added color of yours. I really like the shape of the Angela blooms.

Isn't it beeeutiful. . .*sigh*. . .thanks for looking!

I do just love it, Whygreenbeurg! I think it has really lovely coloration. . .can't wait to see it when it blooms.

Ross, I'd love to see a photo of your niveum. . .here. . .to compare to this one when it blooms. I think it's so interesting to see the blooms of the parents and how it is reflected in the hybrid!

Can't wait to see this bloom, Gwen! I'm thinking of getting a Paph. micranthum var. eburneum 'Bubble Gum' x self. These Paphs are starting to grow on me....

Hi Gmdiaz,

Thanks for sharing your paph photos...I'm looking forward to full blooms.

I just made a big mistake on two of mine, so I'll have to enjoy others' until I get new spikes.

My first two to put up spikes...multifloral at that...and I accidentally broke both off trying to stake them. I was soooo upset.

At least now I know to never, ever, ever try and stake a paph. spike again. I don't care what direction they're going in. For all I know they may have straightened themselves out anyway.

At least I'm able to learn from my experiences.

Oh gad, I know you were so disappointed!

And it does just feel awful . . .we've all done it.
