Dear Yew -
I am so humbled by this honor. What an exceptionally beautiful Paph. niveum this is! Absolutely exquisite. I give it an FCC. My donation to the MOTY award was so nominal, it scarcely merits the mention, but words cannot express my delight! Of all the orchids you could have chosen, I believe this to be the most perfect one. An orchid named after me! And such kind words! I shall truly endeavour to continue to deserve it. As always, you have inspired in me both to be a better person, and a better orchid grower, than I am; in other words, to become more like you. You are a mentor to all of us in so many ways and I know I speak for many when I say that we are all so very grateful for your example to follow.
Thank you - I am so deeply grateful that words hardly express the emotion I feel. A wonderful start to the New Year! Wishing you every good thing in this world,
Maura
P.S. I shall have to find myself a Paph. niveum now!
