Very nice. Paphs are growing on me. Maybe I'll have to try one.

I would, but I would recommend one of the mottled leaf hybrids as a first (I have two of those). This guy is interesting, but not real showy. If you like species there are actually a few clones of this one that are pretty nice. |

As you very well know everything gets a "cooldown" time here in the north  Not sure that's what did it, but Phals and Paphs are budding so maybe so. |

Cool! Nice work! That's what I was trying to get as a background the other day! Super!
I like fairrieanum, I mean the flower is reduced to almost only its flag, but that's OK. It is a very expensive species here (some people ask as much as U$ 280-300 a plant with two or three small fans) so... maybe someday!

Gloria: Temps are now down to a bit less than 70 degrees F day temps and a bit higher than 60 degrees F night temps. My thermostat is set for 62-67. Hope this helps. |

Thanks, I'm honored by the comments. If you want, I'll post a pic (in PM) on how I set it up. I also like the fairrieanum even though it's display is not as "out front" as some hybrids. I still have a pref for species and if this is what they do, then fine with me. |
