[dounoharm]

here are a few paphs presently bloomin in the gh....first is my sukakulii which has two buds this time, second is a vini type that is heavily budded top and plant view, and last is a vini type that is presently open...i bought them at hausermanns a couple years back and they are first blooms except the sukakulii....

dounoharm....like to see your paphs, but what really caught my eye was your bench they are sitting on. Any chance you can show a bigger picture of it. What are you using on the top, looks like thin strapping? Thank you.

hi oscar man, the bench tops were purchased as a complete unit that was surplus from farmtek.com....it is completely cedar....the top is thin narrow planks that are fastened to the side rails of 2x4 cedar.....they were a deal at 9.00 each! i built the legs for them out of treated 2x4 and screwed it all together....farmtek still has the leg portions of benches similar for a couple bucks, but the bench tops sold out fast....they are 2' x4' in width and length....you could easily make something similar....i prefer cedar as the wood for greenhouses...yes the ladyslippers bloomed out for me, and i will attach photos....

beautiful!
I'm still working at getting Paphs to bloom ... got one to bloom last year (late summer), so far even that one doesn't look like it's thinking about blooming this year ...

thanks for sharing pix of yours! good growing
