Paph Frank Smith
This cross was made with very good parents so I bought a number of them to see how they bloomed out. I gave one to Bud and this is the last one to bloom. The cross on this one is Paph Norito Hasagawa 'Elaine Taylor' HCC/AOS X Paph rothschildianum 'Frank Smith' FCC/AOS. The color is still developing in this one but I like it already even with the bug hole in the dorsel sepal. Not bad for a first bloom seedling.

Howard - not at all, it was June's Orchid Estate, they have since stopped selling retail and are now exclusively wholesale. If you really want one, I'm sure that I could pull some strings, I ran the place for wel over a year. They are not cheap, I paid $45.00 each for mine and as far as I am concern they are worth every penny.

Thanks Tucker85, I think so too. This is it's second flower and it looks like there will be one more before it's done blooming.

The two of you are very sweet, unfortunately that's all that I could see, besides seeing red. The Greenhouse is going to be fumigated tomorrow, I am going in with the big guns, there will not be a living thing other than orchids alive in there when I get finished.  |

I am not at the level of looking at orchids with a judges eye. I just see around the bug hole.  |

Glen, if I only had another few feet of bench space in the greenhouse, I'd take you up on your offer, thanks. But, until I "clean house", there isn't much room for this over-sized body to turn around!!!!!  |
