New purchases

Here is what I brought today from the show in Ottawa:



Two vanda seedlings from Clouds orchids. Their seedlings are always very healthy and have nice roots.
Two flasks from Ching Hua Orchids in Taiwan: anitum and superbiens. There was also supposed to be tonsum, but they were out of those, so I got a refund.
Small seedling of Paph. rothschldianum Mont Miliais FCC x self from Orchids in Our Tropics.
Two cattleyas from Ching Hua Orchids - porphyroglossa and schilleriana.

New paphiopedilums

Relatively new actually. I got them in the beginning of August from the member of slippertalk forum.

Paphiopedilum Fanaticum:



- nice young plant with many healthy roots.

Paphiopedilum Fumi's Delight:



Multigrowth plant that previously bloomed. It came with a sheath on one growth but sheath promptly dried up, probably stressed from shipping and environment change.


Paphiopedilum Armeni White:



It is actually all one plant connected under medium with long runners. I decided to pot it into shallow tray so runners will have chance to come up easier. One of the growths has a bud starting.

New purchases from the show

Two paphs from Piping Rock. Smaller one is the sanderianum seedling, larger one - the blooming sized Prince Edward of York, which is a primary hybrid rothschildianum x sanderianum:



Responsible for this two purchases is my St.Swithin that produced the bud on my window and made me think that I can grow multifloral paphs. I hope the two new ones will follow him...

Four phals. On the back - stuartiana and Mituo Sun King (my second one and totally different from the first one), both are in bloom from Crystal Star.
On the front - Ho's Lovely Amethyst with buds and Princess Kaiulani with spoiled flower, both from Ten Shin Gardens.
