I had posted my small Mediocalcar decoratum the other day into the mini thread. I had added a small piece to a treefern ring a couple of years ago.

It seemed like a good idea to take a picture from the top down to also show the two seedlings of Paph Lynn Cassidy
(Black Currants x Macabre 'Candor Blackheart' HCC/AOS) in that ring:
About 5 or 6 years ago I tried my hand on a flask of Paph seedlings. I just wanted to see if I could grow them up. I un-flasked about 30 tiny seedlings that time. Through the years I kept losing some here and there and this year I am finally looking at two decent looking, blooming size survivors.
Kinda puts into perspective how good professional growers are?
