Lovely, Bud. Like the strong dryuryi influence.

Thank You, Evan ! I got this from bigoaks.com ...you can get the 800 phone number in that site and ask for David...I think they still have a couple of this plant left.

Thank You, Terri ! I havent got a clue what this flower would turn out when I bought it; its just the catchy name and its got long leaves and lush four growths in the pot...and when the bloom opened I was so pleased with it and it really a lovely flower.

Thank You sooo much, Glen ! You are the one who introduced me to Paphs and its getting to be an addiction...btw...the two Paphs you gave me is starting to double its size...I hope it blooms this spring!

Thank You, Ron ! for your encouraging words...I really do appreciate it...

Thank You, Josh ! Paphs are very easy to grow...at first I was scared because they look so fragile and I was scared to even go near it...I dropped one while in bloom down a flight of stairs as I was going to take its picture...the while pot broke and the media splattered all over the sidewalk...I repotted it again and theres not a scratch or mchanical damage at all ! They are a sturdy robust plant...and it can withsatand 10 days with no water...(but i will never do that ever again!)

Bud - My Frank Smith is in bud and should bloom in a week or so, yours can't be to far behind considering that they were grex mates.

Glen, hows your viv coming along? I am excited to see it even just on pictures...

Ooh! Frank Smith is another one I really want! So many orchids, so little money!

[Bud]

Thank You, Gloria !

@Evan, if my Frank Smith brings forth a baby after its blooming...its gonna be yours...just as Glen gave me his keikis...I must continue its legacy

Awesome! If you don't mind dividing it, I'd be sure to give a piece a good home! I wouldn't want you to set your own plant back too far though.

its got three growths in a pot not doing anything at the moment...if the 4th springs forth thats yours Evan...I still have two more plants to bloom and produce keikis...but I dont know...do they all sulk for a year if I separate the new keiki?
