Hooray! a bit of color for Winter drab-time.

Paph spicerianum

and Paph Amarantine - a long, patient wait for this one! A primary cross of liemianum x moquettianum. Amarantine means everlasting in gaelic.

Those are so ugly! You should send them to me so you don't have to look at them anymore.

Both are beautiful. So how long was your wait?

Barbara, it took 10 weeks from the very first hint of a sheath to this picture. Doesn't sound so long now as I type it, but it seemed everlasting

Those are great looking paphs Sarah. I think I like the first one the best. The pouch on that one is amazing. Great growing. What do you have these two growing in?

Wow, nice!!! I really like that Paph spicerianum though. Something very emeraldy or jady about it.

I have both growing in a sm.bark/chopped spag. mix with a crushed oyster shell top dressing ( which I'm not entirely sure helps, but it sure looks pretty

)
