Paph's for sale - Orchid Board

Hi everyone,
A fellow member at our Orchid society is selling off everything. If anyone wants a particular Paph, this guy has a lot, even those that are hard to find.

Let me know via a PM and I'll ask him for you.
Helen
p.s. 1/2 price

i,d love to have some, but it,s a terrible time for shipping

That's true, but of course he could hold onto them till warmer weather...I'm sure it'll take him a while to sell everything off, including his little greenhouse...Just thought if someone was looking for a particular Paph, he might have it. Of course living in Canada would be a lot easier.

Yes, Helen. I hate to see collections broken up, but more than that, I really dislike seeing good clones go by the wayside. Does the owner have any favorite rebloomers? The dogs that refuse to bloom are not welcome (I have far too many of those). I am particularly interested in multiflorals, especially dianthus and stonei and their hybrids.
By the way, hello

to you orchidists in Ontario, where I lived for four years (St. Mike's in Toronto and Windsor's Assumption). I love the Sun Parlour, grew up in Detroit and vacationed in Sarnia... Ah the memories!

Ted, Hello to you from Ontario! Can't wait for Spring, hopefully right around the corner! Hope the weather in Texas is nice. I'll check if he has dianthus or stonei...

I received MANY orchids through the Winter of 06-07 without any losses. Of course I live in BALMY Idaho.

Wow

Does he only have paphs or he has phrags also?

Helen · #8 03-08-2008, 10:58 AM

Hi everyone,
As it turns out, this guy won't ship anywhere. He has already donated a lot to the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Sorry to get your hopes up. I just thought I could help some of you get some chids you might be looking for.
Luckily I got 7 from him!

I'd love to...my first paphs are:

Paph wardii, Paph Emerald (awarded 3rd place in Central Ontario Orchid Society) vini colour, Paph Greyii (2), Paph sukhakulii, Paph delenatii (vietnamese sib). and one Dend Hisako Haraguchi

Hope I chose the right ones for a beginner! Thanks for asking. (I found some pictures online and I'm going to add them to my gallery tonight.)
