My favourite plants

My super mysterious Noid flowered finally, two flowers and a bud to come.
To me it looks quite similiar to a Paphiopedilum philippinense with the twisted petals and the stripes on the upper petal.

The green one is my maudiae hybrid, its 2nd spike of flowers, this one with 2 buds, but smaller sized flowers on a shorter spike. I love the green colour when they first unfold, shame they start going yellow

Something to look at while i wait for my cattleya and nep to arrive

The maudie green paph is probably



This is a very common paph that everyone seems to grow. It is probably the easiest I have ever found o grow.

another that has much bigger flowers up to 5 inchs is



The glass vase is almost 5 inchs across so you can see hold big the flower is.

The top of the flower also has a different shape

Beautiful flowers, tom499.

I love the last one. But I am partial to anything green,especially flowers

I hope I will have one in my collection that will produce green flowers.

Stunning Tom. What care was provided for them when you were away on holiday? Not that I'm able to get away but I wonder what I'll do when that time comes....

Tom,

I love the green one - I'm looking pretty much that way myself after looking at your photos. (just kidding)
