Orders coming next week....

Thanks, Sue! I've slowed down a lot from last year, that's for sure... But these I couldn't resist having these to grow here. Can't wait to see the plants, and hopefully, I will see flowers before too long too!

Nice order Shannon! I love them all but that Renanthera is speaking to me!

Isn't is pretty one, Terri? I've seen the orange/red ones at shows and always loved them. But those yellow flowers and the dark stem really looked striking, so I just had to take a chance on it!

Well, the order from Schwerter (with the Paphs) has arrived today! And guess what!?! Two of them are starting to spike - so I am going to see flowers on:

Paph. Wössner Vietnam Love (vietnamense x micranthum)
and
Paph. Envy Green (malipoense x primulinum)

The others have new leaves growing, and are really nice sized plants, so I may get lucky and see flowers later.

Even though I can't take credit for the flowers myself, I'm still excited to see them. Ah... more waiting!!

As soon as they open, Ross! My camera is now charged up and ready!

Awesome paphs Shannan! Don't you just love when you get spikes when you aren't expecting them? It just makes it that much more exciting! They look so nice and healthy too. I can't wait to see what the blooms look like. Congratulations!

Thanks, Sarah! Yes, I am really pleased with this lot - and the prospect of flowers in a short time is a bonus. I've only got a couple of Paphs that are flowering size, so these are wonderful additions to get me by until the seedlings are old enough to flower.
