Orchid Inn slippers?
I'm hoping to place an order with Sam for some paphs/phrags. Can you recommend any of Sam's plants that are 'must haves'?

Any of his multifloral breeding is excellent, certainly among the best in the US.
All his stuff is good, actually.

His Roth's are to die for. So are his sanderianums. Rob is right, any of his plants are well worth it. I'm hoping to get an order from him next week  .

Thank you for that information. I had an email from Sam this morning saying that the new lists will be out in two weeks so you may want to hold on for them.

My experience after two different orders, and the comments of several friends in europe who have ordered from him... Paphs are top class! go for them!
but, as you are in europe, he often offers other plants (e.g.catasetinae)... These are at your own risk... We learned the lesson: he is specialized in Paphs!
I have never ordered flasks from him. I wanted to order two flasks last time, but the feedback I received from europeans ordering them were not very good.

He came to our show in May and I picked up a few from him. I have one that is working on a bloom right now. I can't wait for it to open all the way.
