New Paph Aquisitions......

[Bolero]

Hi all,

Found out recently that someone was disposing of all his Paphs so I went there on Saturday and returned with 29 plants (divided some so in total there are 33 now). Here is a list and a photo of all the plants.......they were $10 each......yes $10 and some of the plants have leafspans over 18 inches. I will look up the grex names later but I just repotted them all and am really happy with the health of the plants.

Magic Oro 'Blonde'
Bilgay 'Highclere' - HCC/AOC

thats gave me an idea
we have a guy here who grows mostly catts and dendrobiums. Has a very small bench of about 60 or so paphs in various stages of need as an afterthought..hmmmmmmm...wonder if he would like to make some room and give me a package deal to clean up his greenhouse paph bench some? I picked most of the good stuff out already

I have to go see him friday afternoon and get him interested in my idea

what the heck would I do with 2 times the paphs I have already?

what else post pics here for the next year

Bolero, that's a lot of Paphs! It's going to look awesome when they're all in bloom. Do you grow inside or do you have a greenhouse to stick all of these in?

[Bolero]

I have a green house to grow them in. I grow outside all year round. I would have close to 450 Paphs out there and a handful of Phrags as well.

I struggle with a 100 by myself BUT I do pay attention to each and every one of them on a daily basis. Being organized helps a lot I have learned. would you show us a pic of the greenhouse please ? I would like to see more paphs!!!
