I totally agree..paphs look like a face with moustache and a nose under it...so the "Paph King" would probably have a moustache, understandably. That's what you get for not posting your pic, Kevin we only have our imagination to work with here...Kevin--I just KNOW it's going to work for you..so congratulation in advance. |

Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius |

| update on my first cross back on June 4 made my first Paph cross. Today, 11 days later, I'm happy to say it looks like one of them took. The insigne as pod parent did not take as the flower was too old, but the Crossianum as pod parent seems to have taken as the flower has started to die off quickly but has not yet dropped. This is what I'm looking for, for the flower to fade but not drop off. Fingers crossed! Anton, do you know if Kevin has ever flasked Paphs? I know hw has flasked Phrags.

| Time frame from seed to bloom. Hi Kevin, It will be a spectacular feather in your cap if you succeed in producing the seed and then produce the bloom. I think all the wellwishers who have asked to be updated on your project may not know that the minimum time from seed to bloom is about three years. And that depends on all the factors involved being to advantage. It can take up to five years if things don't go well. Nevertheless, if eventually you can post a pic. of the first bloom we will all be very happy for you. May the force be with you!!! Bill |
