Got 3 great divisions today to start me back on the path of enjoying some of the great paphs out there. I got the following today:

Hiero "Boynton" (chamberlainianum x lawrencianum)
Via Luna Este "China Doll' (Harbur X Gigi)
P. Rothchildianum 'Distinction'

Being new to the forum I will post pictures as soon as I figure it out.

The plants are all HUGE. The Hiero has a forked spike with 4 flowers and a bud, The Roth has 2 previously bloomed growths and two mature growths, and the China Doll has 2 growths with 1 previously bloomed. To say I am excited is an understatement.

I am not at all familiar with this Roth and would appreciate any information from forum members regarding what it looks like or where I might find a picture.

So it appears I am back in full swing now. I do have to find myself a Phal Violacea somewhere. My wife is going to love this renew interest in orchids, hehe. :woohoo:
