I don't usually post my online shopping trips, but I am very impressed with my first order from Forestview Gardens! Look at the huge multigrowth plants I recieved.
Anyone needing blooming size paphs should get some from them, they also have a good selection of easy growers.
Also they quickly responded to the order, and packed and shipped swiftly and safely. Excellent customer service!
I got:
top row from left to right
1. Paph Lippewunder x Lippewunder
2. Paph (Junior World x Lippetor) x (Winston Churchill ‘Indomitable’ x British Bull Dog)
3. Paph (Pulsar x Cyberspace) x
charlesworthii
bottom row
4. Paph Clair de Lune x
philippinense
5. Paph Unsuzki x
godefroyae ‘White Queen’ compot
Look at the dark pigments of the leaves on that Paph (Pulsar x Cyberspace) x
charlesworthii. Good signs of a bloom with deep colours! BTW it has many growths!
Also the complex paphs (1&2) have nice leaf shapes, being wide, and not too narrow (at least that is what I read is how to judge a complex by leaf). Wide or short leaves tend to yield bloom with the desired full shape, though it is not 100%. I have huge leaves on these complexes, definitely not expecting tiny teacups, but I'll love a huge showy bloom!
From another vendor, I was sold complex with very narrow leaves (the leaves look just like a paph insigne), a sign of poor bloom form (I will soon see if I'm right as this one is now in sheath). I definitely prefer Forestview's complexes.
my first Forestview Gardens order!
