Hi all!
I've decided to sell my Paph. esquirolei, simple because it isn't one of my beloved multi-florals and it is taking up a fair amount of space. Cross is 'A World of Orchids' AM/AOS x 'Limerick' AM/AOS.
It is a very nice five growth plant - one previously bloomed growth, 2 mature growths, one of which is in bud and should bloom within a month, and two newer growths. Leafspan on the largest growth is about 17". It is in a five inch pot and the roots look good (always been a good grower, this one!)
I'd like to ship it this week if someone is interested, because of the state of the bud (it's really begun to move along rapidly over the last week.) Of course I cannot guarantee that the bud will bloom post-shipping but I'll do all in my power to get it to you safely. Those of you familiar with my plants know I tend to package plants well, and with temperatures in mind.
Here are some pics of last year's bloom:

The plant as of last weekend:

The bud as of a week ago (and it has grown!)

Please PM me if you are interested!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out. :)
