Paph (S. Gratrix x bellatulum) x micranthum

This is my newest and most unexpected orchid purchase. It's an amazing parvi influence hybrid with some brachy parentage. It greatly resembles Magic Lantern and even more so micranthum itself... wow! It has a HUGE pouch. This flower is over 4" across, but the plant is only 6" tall and has a leafspan of 6"! I paid $40 for this one.

My First Awarded Orchid

Paph. Z4135 x charlesworthii, pictured here, is my first orchid to receive an award, at my society's meeting this past weekend. The ribbon is for First in Class Paphiopedilum. I bought it in flower in August 2006 and couldn't believe it flowered again so soon.
