The tiny blooms will sparkle on sunny days -

Very nice Ursulla. I also love that Bulbophyllum falcatum you poster eariler. Wierd is good.

I went to the Tampa Orchid Society show with L. purpurata at the top of my want list and came away with this cross and a L. purpurata var. striath as well. I also wanted Stanhopea nigroviolacea but had to settle for a hybrid (X S. grandiflora) and S. tigrina. I had Kathy's buying shoes on so I had to do something.

Paph (Makuli-Curtisii) Maudiae X Paph Maudiae 'Napa Valley'

Wonderful Janice. I especially want to know about that 1st paph! Anyone recognize it? You could send a pic to Glen Decker at Pipng Rock and ask. I have one that looks like the Cookara Bill. They both have Ctna. Maui Maid as a parent.

Ursula, didn't know Microterangis hariotiana was sparkly!!

Janice, gorgeous show!!
I love the Irene Finney pics!! Must be smelling great!
I am so glad you posted them!

You don't see too many Cookaras around, they are both nice.

Janice I don't know the exact NOID paph but I'd bet its a stonei hybrid of some sort. It's a beauty!

Kathy I love that Cookara!

Thanks, Kathy, Ursula and Todd.

Janice, take a look at some pics of Paph. St. Low (St. Swithin X lowii) on the internet.....I am thinking that might be yours.

bree, love your Laelia.

Ursula, Microterangis hariotiana, is very charming.

Janice, you have a fantastic display on the go there. The NOID paph is stunning. Check out Paph Reverend Philip Lamothe. The color of the petals and pouch seem to match yours. It is a cross of Julius x stoneii with Julius being a primary hybrid between rothschildianum and lowii. This pretty much gets all of Todd's suggestions into the mix. The petals may be a little longer than yours but yours will probably develop a little more yet.

sandnsae2- your paph looks like it has mainly haynaldianum in it. Closest thing i can come up with is Eva Weigner. Which is cross with stonei.
Love irene finnley, i have across which is as good neally... x with lyn spencer... minus a petal i broke off.

I wish I knew more about paphs but they never bloom for me. I'd say Irene Finney gets the prize in floofyland.

Does anyone have a good pic to start April 4????

Thanks, Todd, Ken and Bree. They all look very much like it. I also found one that is very similar on Orchidweb called Berenice.

This is a noid Den I have in bloom given to me by a friend. It is mounted on the tree.
