| Largest Paph leafspan?
While walking to the bathroom (3/4 asleep) i got a shock while washing my hands to see how huge the leaf span on my of my Paph. Vedanta 'Carpinteria' x rothschildianum 'Borneo' FCC/AOS, it measured 82cm on the flowered fan, and 76cm on the unflowered. So was wondering, what are some of your largest leafspan Paphs you have. I usually see smaller leaf span on mature plants, but I have noticed a lot of my rothschildianum crosses results in huge leafspan when mature.

My paph Bel Royal (rothchildianum x kolopakingii) is huge. Roughly 3 ft (90cm) across.  No wonder why I'm running out of space--I used to buy all these monsters.

Paph kolopakingii has the largest paph leaf span. It can be more than a meter. I just looked up the dimensions in Cribb's paph book and the deminsions for a leaf (not a full leaf span, but just a single leaf) is 20-80cm (about 7-31 inches). I dont' have any of these because they're too big. I grow the smaller paphs.
