Very nice! Welcome. Do you have any pictures?

No I don't have any pictures. Never bothered to take pictures of my flowering orchids. I do plan on doing it in the near future if I have time.

Hello Paphman,

Welcome to the OB. There seems to be a growing list of Canadian members - very nice! Have you always specialized with Paph. species? Where do you grow?

Oscarman,
I have always been interested in Paph species from the beginning. I also like the Cattleya species but they don't do well in my apartment which gets too warm. I plan to get warm growing Cattleya species like lueddemannia, luteola, warneri, lawrenceana, and violacea in the near future.

I have over 125 Paph roth seedling growing really fast. I grow them under HID and it has been a excellent. I don't plan on keeping them all but didn't realise how fast they grow. Plants of Paph rothschildianum out of flask 2.5 years ago are now 16-24 inches in leafspan. I also have seedlings of sanderianums, topperi, stonei, gigantifolium, emersonii, hangianum, praestans, mastersianum, amabile and adductums.

I like to grow orchids from flask and I find them very easy to grow.
