Default Paph. Pollination
Alright, what is the trick to pollinating a Paph.? I have disected a flower and tracked it to the back side of that inner pad. Do you just rub the pollen on the pad or is that little "T" on the back a point of insertion? Because it didn't seem to want to open.

Yes, it worked! You have to rub the pollinia on the back-side of the little pad, directly behind where you pull the pollinia from. You just about have to break the "jaw", so to speak, of the flower in order to get in there with a pair of tweezers.
