Thanks, Tim! There were so many really different things at this show. I swear there was even more variety than at the London Orchid Show. Even though I came home with quite a few plants, there were quite a few more than I put back!! :biggrin:

Jim, If you - or anyone else - has any advice on the Mexipedium, I sure would appreciate it. It wasn't a cheap plant, so I really hope I don't kill it!!

Thanks for looking!

Thanks so much, Yvan. I think that is why I was attracted to that Paph... I love the sort of splashed on, irregular, painted look.

If nothing else, it stops and make you look at it! :biggrin:

I've never seen anything like it in Paphs before.

Thanks! It is interesting to see how people react to that Paph... Just posted a poll, and I hope to get some interesting comments about it!

Somehow :scratchhead: I knew you would like my choices. In fact, there were several times that I said to myself at the show - "If Gwen were here...." ;)

(and then again, when I got home and started re-potting :biggrin:)

Terri, I'm glad you like them! See pics above for closer shots of the Masdies. They are the cutest things. But I can't wait to see what that Masd. Midnight Plum looks like! Its a cross of coccinea (IOSPE PHOTOS) x discoidea (IOSPE PHOTOS)

I know we had a thread or three on Mexipedium -

It's such a cutie! :love:

The one on the left looks like a Drac to me.

:superwoman Thanks, Dorothy! I hadn't had time to search yet myself... but you just made my life easy!!

(as always :bowing )

Ross, that one is Masd. (Pink Mist x Snow White) - so a hybrid of two hybrids.

Pink Mist = strobelii x coccinea
Snow White = tovarensis x Angel Frost
(with Angel Frost = veitchiana x strobelii)

So a right good mix of species! I think it has a really, really good form for a Masdie.

I totally agree. I love the display. Nice blossom (for a Drac imposter :evil: )
