Paphiopedilum NOID Rebloom

[JoeW]

All of my grocery store bought last year Paphiopedilum noids have survived and thrived. First a group glamor shot in the manner of the IOS show:



Next, noid #1 (my first Paphiopedilum)

I am very pleased with the colors and form! Too bad about the little flaw on the sepal.

Mug shots of #2 and #3

The spent inflorescence had a seed pod which I'd let mature and burst to see what it was like.

Noid #4 is a multifloral. The first original segment still has a budded inflorescence. This is the second segment.

I really like the form and colors on this one too. These all live in a unobstructed north windowsill.

Wow! I wish they sold Paphs at my grocery store. =)

nice variety of paphs! we cannot find them here in grocery stores. I'm liking that first one

excellent group of Paphs... great to hear they have enjoyed their new home and have rewarded your care.

i like the second one better this flowering... i remember the petals weren't so flat the last time.

They're gorgeous! I like the way they grow, without any support? Flames, coloratums, vini's and a Pinnoccio-style hybrid, if I'm correct. Quite a collection. I like #1 best: it's so perky.

Thay are beautiful, I hope my 2 noid Paphs do as well as yours have done! thank you for the photos and well done on getting them to rebloom!

[Brutal_Dreamer]

Those are cool, Joe! You keep growing like that and you will have to add paphs to your Favorite orchid(s) list in your profile. LOL! I really like the one in the second photo (your first paph.) It is such a great looking slipper.

Cheers,
BD

Great Growing!!

Great Paphs! From a grocery store???? I am so jealous!!!! BD is right--you seem to be doing really well with Paphs.

I love vinis, and also ones with warts & hairs. As a result, it's probably not too tough to guess that NOID #2 is my favourite!

Question--Is there any reason why the "Pinocchio style hybrid" (NOID #4) isn't actually the species primulinum, rather than a hybrid? Any "real" Paph-heads feel free to tell me why it can't be--it would be a good learning experience.

Cheers,
