St. Swithin and Max tenuifolia
I dragged Mr E out to a local orchid show yesterday and couldn't resist getting this Paph. Saint Swithin
Boyfriend bought a little Maxillaria tenuifola. He really liked the one he saw at another show recently so had to buy one for us too  It smells gorgeous, of course!

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