Paph. Dollgoldi

Here is my new purchase from Montreal show. paphiopedilum Dollgoldi = rothshildianum x armeniacum.



I didn't pre-order it, and just pick it out from the sales table. From what I see plant didn't bloom yet, but has two nearly mature growth and two additional little runners. I think it looks cool.

Paph. Prince Edward of York

Here is my newly purchased Prince Edward already repotted:



Nice and healthy leaves, roots had some peeling but there are still plenty of firm ones left. I knew it was blooming sized but after less than a week after getting it - I noticed the bud start on the larger fan.
Of course I noticed it after repotting and was worried that stress of tepotting would affect the bud development. Another week passed and bud looks fine and growing:



Can't wait for the bloom.

I noticed that all three of my paph hybrids are the rothschildianum primary crosses, it was not intentional, but now I am thinking maybe I should continue along this line...

Paphiopedilum Fanaticum

I bought this Paph back in spring but forgot to log it in.
It is still alive and growing, althiugh lost couple of bottom leaves and looks kind of short.



Together with Paph. Fanaticum I also bought Paph. Magic Lanthern. I didnt forget to log that one in, but today I removed it from the list. The brown patch at the bottom was rot that was spreading to each next leaf until none was left.

Paphiopedilum Delrosi 'Murray'

Paphiopedilum Delrosi is  a cross between Paph rothschildianum and delenatii.
My plant is a division of  this particular plant and there is a story of the name 'Murray'.



It is nice, that I can see what the blooms will look like, but of course it is many years before I might get it.

Paphiopedilum Lady Isabel

I really like Paphiopedilum stonei, but it is rather hard to find it of a good blooming size. Paph. Lady Isabel is a cross between stonei and rothschildianum. It is quite beautiful too. I got it from Piping Rock Orchids at the show.
There are two fans and it does look like blooming sized plant.
Of course I re-potted it right away to check the roots, because it came in the black plastic pot.
Here is what was inside the pot:



All cleaned up with media soaking beside and a new clear plastic pot waiting:



I liked the conditions of the roots, they have few new growing tips and there was no rotted parts to trim. I didn't bother to uncurl them because old media did wash out easy and I didn't want to disturb the roots too much.



Here is Paph. Lady Isabel potted into new pot. Our tiles are 13 inch wide.

Paphiopedilum Fumi's Delight

Paph. Fumi's delight is a cross between micranthum and armeniacum. It is a small seedling that came from Clouds Orchids. Unpotted it demonstrated quite healthy roots:

I potted it back into slightly smaller pot:

Paphiopedilum Dick Wagner

Paph. Dick Wagner is a cross between Paph. bellatulum and Paph. Fanaticum. I never saw one in the real life, but pictures found on the web made me order a small seedling when I came across one at the Clouds orchids website.
The medium in a pot looked ok, but I wanted to check on roots, so I unpotted it:



Well, not many roots but whatever there is - looks healthy and happy. From what I see - usually parvis don't have that much roots.
I decided to take a bit smaller pot, but used the same media because - a) it still looks good; b)I don't have media that fine to fit small seedlings, my bark pieces are prety large.
