Default Paph. Rosy Dusk
Went to an orchid show today (my first one ever ) and while I'm not normally a Paph person I adore white flowers and saw this which I thought was an absolutely gorgeous plant







There also was a really nice Paph Anhinga [Pulsar x Lasar] for sale with a magnificent large flower. I kept going back to it, didn't buy and I think I actually regret it now. Maybe I am a Paph person after all.

The Paphs kind of sneak up on you For the longest time, I told myself "I'm really not a paph-person"...and I somehow ended up with 6...and counting!

Your first show!
Isn't it just an amazing atmosphere? I love love love orchid shows!

It was a fairly small, local show but I enjoyed myself so I'm now considering going to London next weekend for the proper big one

Oh, yeah... I remember the very first time I saw a paph flower -- I was like "And what's so special about this awkward flower?" Now I have three of them, and really plan to have more in the future.

We have several native slippers here in Michigan, so was never attracted to them as something special. Now I see all the variety of colors and am slowly changing my mind. I have my first one now (not white).

.........and if you stray too far from growing them, they lure you back again!

Wow, what a plant and such an elegant flower. If you go to the proper big one, can you bring us back some pictures?

BTW, I have Anhinga, and it's flower lasts along time! Mine has been in bloom since mid-Jan and still going strong.
