3 Paphs and a Phrag - Orchid Board

The orchid society had a sale tonight... I've been curious about Paphs and Phrags, so I was weak... and there were a lot of very inexpensive choices. I brought home:

Paph. chamberlainianum (in bloom... photo soon!)
Paph. Black Rook x Red Maude
Paph. spicerianum
Phrag. Cardinale 'Barrett'

Advice is appreciated... Otherwise, like I said, photo soon of the chamberlainianum.

As promised, my chamberlainianum!

It looks more like Paph. moquettianum to me, which it is far more prettier than Paph. chamberlainianum IMO.

I think your flower will open up a bit more in few more days, so you may check on the ID more closely.

I think you're right... I may talk to the previous owner at the next meeting and see if I can find out where they got their identifying information from. I don't want to misrepresent!

Nice picks! I esp like the Paph spicerianum and the Phrag Cardinale
