You all had an interesting exchange last night while we were out!
Todd, I love the Ascocenda Kirk Hoo, and the Calanthe sieboldii looks very promising!
Kathy, I would be doing a happy dance too - seeing your minis budding!

I am hit or miss on blooming Paphs. I did a little better this Winter on a couple of them. Regarding Phrags, Jason Fischer is still blooming and I do find the Phrag Sorcerer's Apprentice and Phrag Sorcerer's Fire not difficult at all, but the latter get to be very large plants. ( and Sorcerer's Fire is nicer than Apprentice, I think) I am still waiting patiently on my Phrag kovachii hybrids., one doesn't look too hot, but the other looks really nice, it has got to bloom one of these days.....

Ken, I had to look up your "how does RHS sort this out "
First I looked up glaucophyllum at the Kew check list. ( I tried to add the links here but they didn't work with that site, so you have to fill them in please )

http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/home....
glaucophyllum is the accepted name /in bold letters

moquetteanum is not written in bold, so I would think it is not an accepted name and that is your answer?
(Orchidspecies.com lists is as syn.)

delenatii x glaucophyllum is Delophyllum as you said

And now some breakfast... Smiling
