My latest purchases from Parkside
I went ahead and purchased two of the Paphs I've been yearning for.
On left is Paph Golddollar and on right is Paph niveum. Niveum's blossom is a bit scruntched from the trip but a second bud below looks good. Golddollar's spike looks promising.
Here is a link to niveum picture: http://www.parksideorchids.com/image...h%20niveum.jpg

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Ross, they are just beautiful. I especially like the yellow. Can't say I've got anything to match...I'm happy for you. So now you've thrown down the gloves and I feel challenged to come up there just to see how many other beauties you're hiding.....

They are both beautiful, Ross! I can see why you've been yearning... really nice additions - I love the mottled leaf Paphs!

Beauties Ross! I love them both! Golddollar has been on my wish list for awhile too. Great choices. Can't wait to see Goldies first bloom.
