Vinis from OZ in spike

[NYCorchidman]

These are two of the three paphs I bought from OZ one year ago when they came to New York for a small show.

I think these were way too over priced, and one of these two had bad spotting disease which I could not check at the time of purchase because of the way they packed the plants, but I managed to fight it off. or helped the plant fight it off.

They grew very slowly and now finally ready to bloom again.

One was for the large size for type, and the other one was for wartless petals. I am anxious to see how the flowers will turn out this time.

OZ is pretty proud of their plants and charge accordingly. I put down $45 for one of their fairries last year. It was a nice flower but I don't think I would do it again. I get to orchid shows and sometimes my common sense gets left at the door!

$45? That is nothing! I would have bought so many!
They didn't have anything at that price range. lol

That is about how much I pay for any paphs at flower district here, which is the cheapest in the city if you can find it else where at all. then it starts at $100. with no tag. ridiculous, but they have to pay the rent I guess. lol
