Masdevallia veitchana, Paph Delrosi and small seedling of laelia lobata v. alba.
I won the masdie and paph from the SlipperTalk forum auction. They have it every year to support forum. Plants were donated by John_M from OrchidsCanada.com.
They arrived promptly, beautiful and healthy, very well packed and included a bonus - laelia seedling. Masdie started to grow a little spike.
Thank you.This Delrosi is a division from a plant that actually blooms (sometimes this hybrid refuses to bloom even when mature and has several fans), I hope I see the flower someday.
Nice plants. I have a Delrosi as well since last fall (big plant with 5 fans), so I really hope it will bloom.... I bought it not knowing that roth hybrids can be a bit temperamental to bloom. And I'm new to Paphs.

Wow- 5 fans is huge. I am sure it is ready to bloom. You probably can expect flowers anytime. It should be spectacular, especially if it will spike from more than one fan.
Mine is a division from the clone 'Murray'. Here is how mine should bloom:
Such a gorgeous Paph, I love seeing pics of it!
I got it from one of my favorite dutch growers at a show. I was going to buy a 1 growth plant off the table, but since he knows me as a regular customer, he pulled out the monster 5 growth one from under the table, and sold it to me for only a few € more! I think I paid 15 or 17€ for it.
