This must be the best Paph site in the world. It is based in Taiwan, written in Mandarin but the photographs are simply outstanding and the archives will take you weeks to explore--and they are well worth the time.

NOT for the faint of heart

It has 3 sister sites devoted to Catts, Cymbidiums and Bulbos. Altavista has a good translation program if needed.

Get the drool shields out--as they used to say on the old AOS site before it was (sadly to me) "modernised".

Enjoy it to the full.

Oh yes, indeed! That site I know well!
Especially the mature blooming sanderianums and Prince Edward of Yorks! :drool: indeed!

Very nice, I like the zoom function on the photos using the scroll wheel

I agree

This web board is excellent!!!, I really appreciate the Bulbophyllum section there although I don't read or understand mandarin and also quite often the typos are not readable

Fantastic!

It is incredible how the jackii looks so much like the malipoense. The malipoense has the burgundy stamen and the jackii has the green stamen.

thanks

Great site! Thanks for sharing. I'm also in the group of not being able to read Chinese but I'm loving the pictures of all hte parvis, brachys and the hybrids.

I think I saw some pictures from Avery on the site.
