Paph. Via Balboa, Paph. wardii, Paph Wössner Zwerg

[kavanaru]

Pic 1: It finally bloomed... I had the feeling it was taking ages to develope and open... Since I was a child, I always wanted to have one of those "Monster Paph", then I lost the interest in the Complex Hybrids, until in spring this year I decided to give them a try... I ordered two: Paph. Via Balboa & Paph Mildred Hunter... Both are growing in S/H since I received them, and both doing pretty well (several new growths (3 to 4)... this is the first that blooms and has a second spike growing Actually, I was expecting this hybrid to be more yellow but I love the right balance of green and yellow it has

Pic 2: My recently acquired Paph wardii... a gorgeous little Paph. This plant was a nice present from Mr. Gunzenhauser from .:: Welcome to Gunzenhauser Orchids ::. ( a great colleection of Paph )

Pic 3: My Paph Wössner Zwerg in second bloom this year... I love this primary hybrid!
