That's really pretty, shakkai

Thanks, Sue! All I need is one more type of orchid to fall in love with and there are so many tempting Paphs!! If I can keep this one alive and flower it again, then I'm in for trouble and will have to think about expanding space - they take up a lot more room than the masdies!!

Gloria... I missed your post!! Thanks for the advice - sometimes I guess we can worry too much!? I'm pretty good at keeping things moist, but not wet - thats how most of the Restrepia and Masdies like it.

I've got my fingers crossed for this one. Its a test plant.

You can do it

You'll be just fine. As Sue says .... You can do it!
..... go make more room

[shakkai]

LOL! With all of the plants I've found and added to my WANT list from researching project plants, I'll be lucky to have room to squeeze in the project plant itself!

shakkai -
Who needs couches, seats or a bed for that matter - tables give you so much more room ...

Dorothy, I've already earmarked the far side of the long dining room table by the window!! It is a sickness, isn't it?! But I don't want a cure!

Yes it is true that plain green-leaved Paphs like cooler temps. The place you described sounds pretty good - for humidity, just use the tray method - it's not a very big deal. Trust me this type of hybrid is not very picky - get into growing some parvi and brachy species and you'll have picky plants! You'll do just fine.

Cool! Thanks for the confirmation. I will clear some space in that corner by the computers, and that will be for the Paphs. You've all convince me... now, where was that Paph list that came in the mail last week???
