Just a few Paphs that are in bloom in the hotroom at the moment.

Very pretty complex Paphs! I live the pink one on the far right. Can you tell us its name?

[DelawareJim]

Nice plants. Congratulations. I agree with Shakkai, I like the pink one on the end.

Cheers.

Hi there, the pink Paph is a VERY old cross. Its called Molantis 'Avalon Pearl' The flower you see has been out for nearly 2 months now and is looking a bit the worse for wear but here is a single pic of it.

I love them all, but really like the spotted one in the foreground. What's that one called? I have yet to try complex Paphs. Most of mine are species with a few primary hybrids. I've been a little afraid to try these.

Beautiful, I love the pink one too, I have a few complex but right now they are quiet, maybe this december? Whats the little yellow one called?

[jim blanford]

WOW!! ROY, They all look great, thanks. BTW Name them the next time save wear& tear on the keyboard.

Indeed, old it is. The crosss: (Paphiopedilum Atlantis x Paphiopedilum Lady Mohur) dates from 1949, when I was only three years old and knew next to nothing about orchids.

Sorry folks, never gave the names a thought till asked.
To clarify, the 2 centre & left are Bilambil 'Thelma' HCC, the white is Swanilda, the spotted is Fyans Creek 'Halls Gap' ( my own breeding ), the pink you know. The green in the background isn't that small and is P. Gaymaid.
