I found a Paph. helenae seedling in 2 inches pot at EBay from a grower in CA...at $75 with $10 shipping...these are really that expensive ?!?!
In my frustration, I decided to get a blooming sized Paph. Maudiae Magnificum instead...which was on my prize range....
Now I have 3 Paphs in my collection!
Ron, its nothing but total love for me with this species or any cross comming from the helenae.
Stunning lil paph
These paphs aren't cheap - this will run about 40$ down here and still 2 years from blooming.
Forestview Gardens, in BC, had some for sale last year for $25, seedlings. I got one and it bloomed a year after, very nice little plant
I don't think they sell to the US, but you could ask, if they get some more...
BTW they also have P.thaianum now ! (just got one, beautiful little plant too )
Well, Ron if you think you can post pictures of flowers like this one and expect all of these accolades over what.... some tiny flower with a perfect bucket and an upright dorsal and nice sepals.... is that what you think????? Well, is it???? Then you'd be right!
