Two blooming paphs
Hooray! a bit of color for Winter drab-time.
Paph spicerianum
and Paph Amarantine - a long, patient wait for this one! A primary cross of liemianum x moquettianum. Amarantine means everlasting in gaelic.

Those are so ugly! You should send them to me so you don't have to look at them anymore.  |

Barbara, it took 10 weeks from the very first hint of a sheath to this picture. Doesn't sound so long now as I type it, but it seemed everlasting  |

Those are great looking paphs Sarah. I think I like the first one the best. The pouch on that one is amazing. Great growing. What do you have these two growing in?
