Paphiopedilum moquettianum

[Heather]

Lesson #1 when becoming a Paph fiend. Never say you don't like something. Somehow, sometime, this little cutie really grew on me! I have had two blooms so far. I also have a primulinum spiking, which I am very much looking forward to blooming during these gray months. This is moq. 'A World of Orchids' AM/AOS x 'Ervin Lee' AM/AOS.

Enjoy!

That's a gorgeous pic, Heather. I love the way the light reflects off of the hairs on the petals. You've had some great camera practice!

Thanks!
Heh, yeah, "practice" taking a bazillion photos to get one halfway decent. This was one of my better days I guess, didn't need to take 2 bazillion!

Thanks Bruce!
I can count three more buds, waiting in the wings to open, so I'll have at least 5, hope to do as well as Uncasteeb's record 11! I love this little one, such a surprise for me. Seeing things in person can really change one's mind, especially if she is known to be rather fickle to begin with!

NICE plant and VERY NICE photo!

My prim is also on its fourth flower and more buds are showing!

Good Growing!
