I can find a pink complex at forestview

Forestview has some great plants, don't they? I got some parvi compots from them in July (micranthum still on the way) that I am very happy with. I hope they bring some complex to one of our meetings or to the show in February (or to the show in Calgary which I plan to attend).

Yea they are very nice people to talk to. I wish I picked something up when I saw them at the show. I should have bought that dark maudiae x charlesworthii they were offering me, all the leaves were covered in dark pigments

For complexes I have:
Paph Shadow Glow (Varina Vaughn ‘Fire Engine’ x Winston Churchill ‘Redoubtable’) - I think this one has potential because the leaves are short
Paph Mukoyama Green (Midori x Lemon Tree) - previously bloomed with two unbloomed growths. I think the leaves are too long, but maybe it will be good still.

My complexes have yet to bloom, maybe when it cools down in the winter.

and I want to get from forestview
Paph. (Junior World x Lippetor) X (Winston Churchill 'Indomitable' x British Bulldog)
Paph. (Pulsar x Cyberspace) x charlesworthii - just don't have a maudiae type crossed with charlesworthii yet, I believe this is the grex they got a AM/AOS with
Paph. Usuzuki x godefroyae 'White Queen' -compot

and tempted to add Paph. Lippewunder X Lippewunder. I don't have a maudiae crossed with multifloral yet, so Paph. Maudiae ‘Clair de Lune’ x philippinense doh! no space and money...

Yeah about that AM - I usually don't care for Maudiae crosses but that is one beautiful plant! I've thought about getting one too. I have the 'Claire de Lune' x philippinense (that was a $50 impulse buy from Ellerslie Gift & garden, and mine's with philippinense alba) and although I paid twice its value I am happy with it. It has very large flowers and I recommend it.

I forgot to mention, I do already have a Maudiae x charlesworthii cross from them, Z4135 x charlesworthii, which has turned out to be a reliable bloomer and vigorous grower with great color. I love Forestview!

thanks, looks like I'm gonna add some plants on before I mail it off.....

Nice. There are are some of the 'bulldog' paphs I'd like to have --- if it weren't for the fact that paphs die quickly in my care.
