Greetings!
I am trying to make room, and have a couple plants to share with the forum. Basically I am looking for enough to cover shipping, and anything above that will be contributed to the forum maintenance fund. So bid generously!
First up is paph gina short (glaucophyllum or pinocchio x delenatii)
This is a nice, multi-growth plant. It had two spikes last time it bloomed--very large flowers and VERY fragrant. It has 2 PB, 1-2 BS, 1 NBS, and 1 new start. Should bloom on one or two spikes again next spring.
Was repotted a few months ago in chc/sphag mix, so it should have plenty of new roots by now.
Here is a flower picture--this was at the very end of the blooming, so the flowers were a little faded, but you can see how large they are. A must-have hybrid for all you parvi nuts!

Here is the plant taken today. The older growths are kind of beat-up, but the new growths are all clean.

Next up is phrag longifolium. ('Red' x self)
This one has 1 PB, 1 BS growth, and at least 3 NBS growths. Stays somewhat compact for this species. This one arrived in spike when I got it last year, but it was at the very end of the blooming. The last flower on the spike was on the smallish size for a longifolium, but I think that was because the spike was at its end. If you are looking for a nice, healthy phrag longifolium that doesn't take a ton of space (at least not yet), this is for you!
Here is the plant today. The BS growth is hidden behind the PB growth, but you can clearly see the 3 NBS growths.

It is in a 1/2 gallon sleeve. The guy who had it last apparently kept it in standing water, which is fine for this species. I haven't done the same, but I have watered it pretty much constantly, every 1-3 days. It will take as much water as you can give it.
Anyway, hit me with a pm if interested in either of these plants. Like I said, I am basically looking for enough to cover in-pot shipping, and any "profit" is going right back to the SOF.
Best,
Justin
