Jim they are all beautiful! I really like Skip the Buss. Do you know if all complex Paphs are cool growers, or are there some that can be grown intermediate?

My delenatii just opened yesterday. I'll try and post a pic tomorrow. The pouch on mine is a really deep rose, almost purple.

Hi Terry... All my Paphs. complex & species are grown in what I think is intermediate, the only one I cant bloom is P. micranthum I think it's not cool enought. The rest do fine. And thanks Ross you made me go to the basement and count. I have 207 orchids, 62 paphs, 12 phrags, the rest is a mix of catts, phals, dens, all kinds of stuff. Thanks Jim.

Great bunch! I vote for hirsutissimum; love species, and Skip the Buss. Great name, and the color is nice too.
