How do you pollenate a Paph?

[Ak_Orchid]

I've recently aquired my first Paph. As I've been trying to grow my own seed pods with Phal, Catts, Dendrobiums, ect, I was curious as to what I need to do in order to pollenate it. I waited till one of the 2 blooms was starting to turn brown on the edges and cut the flower off so I could disect it. Needless to say, I learned very little. I found the pollen with no problem, but could not find where the pollen needs to go. I've searched the web with no success, and it seems like there must be a VERY simple answer. Thanks ahead for your help.

OH BTW, I know people have been talking about Ochid Society's. I recently joined the one here in Alaska (which I'm sure is smaller than most) and it was only 20$ and I got a free orchid. Almost paid for itself right then. We'll see at the first meeting this week. Happy Growing

Go to Troy Meyers' website http://www.troymeyers.com/. He has a whole step-by-step description on how to pollinate paphs with graphic photos of where the pollen goes.
