Paph collection

Wow~ that's a lot!

My favorite is lawrenceanum leaves.
I have a few hybrids that have lawrenceanum somewhere in their breeding background, and many of them show this similar pattern. some with silver, some with yellowish background like yours, and that's what I'm attracted to the most.

Holy moly, you have so many! and that's only lady slipper department!

I love your NOID vini Black Jack! Did you name that? What a cool name! it fits the flowers nicely I think.

I would love to have that plant!

Lol, your collection certainly has grown by leaps and bounds!!!! I am incredibly jealous of your helenae and henryanum!!!

Mines are all hybrids and they all seem to grow at about the same rate. now that the summer heat is off, all is growing faster. not sure if it's cooler weather, or increase in day/night temperature difference, or both, but all seem to grow like crazy in the spring and autumn.

My favorite vinicolor paph is exceptionally slow growing. It flowered in december last year. New fan didn't develop until march this year, which is like taking forever compared to my other paphs that usually grow new fans all year long or right after flowering.
The new fan on that vini color is small and only has two leaves, one of which had some rot, which I cut off. A third leaf is now emerging very very very slowly.
