Inspired by her thread, I went to one of Becky1539’s favorite GH/breeders over the weekend and purchased several new orchids. Again inspired, this time by the RVO forum, I decided to try something somewhat new (for me). So, I now have 3 new paph’s in 1.25 plastic pots. Introducing:
Paph. delenatii X Paph. micranthum
Name:  dilxmicra (Small).jpg
Views: 2287
Size:  32.6 KB
Paph. concolor ‘Yellow Mist X Paph. concolor ’Hennessianum’ {Compact, creamy yellow flowers with speckles}
Name:  concolor (Small).jpg
Views: 59
Size:  41.8 KB
Paph. delenatii X Paph. delenatii ’Pink Sky’
Name:  delxdelps (Small).jpg
Views: 59
Size:  38.9 KB
How do I best care for these small seedlings?

Very nice purchases! Good luck with the paphs, trying out new species, is what makes orchid growing interesting. (and challenging!)

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .
