New Paph Aquisitions......
 
Hi all,

Found out recently that someone was disposing of all his Paphs so I went there on Saturday and returned with 29 plants (divided some so in total there are 33 now). Here is a list and a photo of all the plants.......they were $10 each......yes $10 and some of the plants have leafspans over 18 inches. I will look up the grex names later but I just repotted them all and am really happy with the health of the plants.

The List:

(concolor x mastersianum) x Maudiae
Magic Oro 'Blonde'
Bilgay 'Highclere' - HCC/AOC
rothschildianum x delenatii
Orchilla 'Chiltern'
Small World x Winston Churchill
Sparsholt x World Exploit
(Fairbairn x Thunder Bay) x Kimberley Szabo
Amanda x Personality
phillipinense x rothschildianum
Iantha Stage
glaucophyllum x rothschildianum
sukhakulii 'Tigermoth' x wardii
Maudiae 'Los Osos' x Red Maude
Norito Hasegawa
Joyce Hasegawa
Lynleigh Koopowitz x 4
Magic Lantern x 4
Psyche x delenatii
British Bulldog x Peony
Amanda Hill
Shiela Hanes x Magic Mood
Norito Hasegawa 'Highclere' -HCC/AOC
Delrosi

Wow! Nice haul, they all look real healthy. Good find!

hmmmm
 
thats gave me an idea :)
we have a guy here who grows mostly catts and dendrobiums. Has a very small bench of about 60 or so paphs in various stages of need as an afterthought..hmmmmmmm...wonder if he would like to make some room and give me a package deal to clean up his greenhouse paph bench some? I picked most of the good stuff out already :)

I have to go see him friday afternoon and get him interested in my idea :)

what the heck would I do with 2 times the paphs I have already?

what else post pics here for the next year :)

Bolero, that's a lot of Paphs! :) It's going to look awesome when they're all in bloom. Do you grow inside or do you have a greenhouse to stick all of these in?

Bolero 11-23-2010 04:09 AM

I have a green house to grow them in. I grow outside all year round. I would have close to 450 Paphs out there and a handful of Phrags as well.
