And look at those lovely mottles...


Really excited about this one!

She is beautiful, and really big! What a great find.

[WaterWitchin]

Yes, big... it's not one for a windowsill. And yes, I was most pleased. Seller was Everything Orchids, which sells through Etsy and eBay. I've bought from them before and never been disappointed.

Moving to my preferred medium... Nice roots!!




And now in situ on the big paphs shelf...

Beautiful roots, very nice purchase!

I thought I would post a photo since I have not yet done that. The one in the front is the Paph delenatii and the one in the back is the Paphiopedilum Lynleigh Koopowitz (Paphiopedilum malipoense x Paphiopedilum delenatii). The leaves of both of these orchids are of the vinicolor/dunkel coloring which is rather neat as I had not expected it in the primary hybrid when I ordered it.

I need to pot the new one in the 1/4 inch lava rock and a larger plastic pot (with holes). If I think about it, I will take a photo of the roots.

Beautiful leaves, healthy looking plants <3

Well, interesting. I have a Paph Lynleigh Koopowitz crossed with...something. Can't remember and not where I can check right now. It's one of the oldest in my paph collection now, back in the day when I was first starting to branch into paphs and phrags. Never gave it much thought at the time because it was new to me and I was fairly new into orchids. But has a plain leaf. Can't wait to look further into it once I get to the label. Those are gorgeous leaves.

I’m new to this forum but I’d like to participate.

I recently bought a Paph. Micheal Koopowitz from Paph Paradise and a Dr. Toot (delenatii x kolopakingii) I got from a vendor, I genuinely don’t remember who, at the Annual Paph Forum.
