spent a little while looking for adductum and I have only been able to find hybrids.
anyone seen these anywhere?

Paph adductum is a rare hard to find species. I bought mine from Antec last year. Since they are uncommon plants, be prepared to pay a high price for one and be careful where you get yours from. I bought one from Hauserman some years ago and it turned out to be a hybrid. :shock:

I found one recently only after emailing a ton of people. I don't think the person I got mine from had others, was his personal collection and was pricey.

antec is great it is 10 miles from me :D

Ah, so that's where Candor is?
I went to school in Rochester and had a good friend from Cortland.

yea candor is just outside of ithaca i grew up in rochester did you go to rit? u or r st. johns?!!!!! i am going there this weekend! going to bloomfield orchids+marlows orchids

I used to live in Skaneateles NY, and spent a few nights at Corltand. Drank at an old bar near downtown, I think it is called Coaches maybe? Can't remember, it has been there for a real long time. My father in law is a Kappa.

LOL! Nope, I went to Nazareth for a year and a half but hated it and transfered to UMass Amherst. I have a lot of family in Roch. though, In Irondequoit. My parent's bought their first house in Chili. :D

Oh no wonder you like Chili pistas! :lol: To be on topic, my adductum came from antec. Very slow growing plant. :roll:

Haha, Chili in New York is pronounced w/ a long "I" sound as in "Hi". :lol:

:lol: I didn't know that. I'm sure you know this then, how do you pronounce HAUPPAUGE? It is somewhere in NY, I think.

That one I don't know but probably it is of Iroquoian linguistic family. NY, like MA and ME are full of towns with names from Iroquoian/Algonquin background. That's one of the reason's I transferred from Naz ~ No Native American Studies major there. :wink:

I have a flask of this. Will have singles to sell or trade in about 6-7 months from now. PM me if you are interested.

I do not expect I will charge a fortune for the plants, but I have been waiting a long time to find a high quality selfing/sibling of this species- and finally I found it! So, while it will not be a bargain basement deal, it will not be a killing on my part either.

I have an adductum and anitum and your right they are slow growing as hell.
Also be careful watering these plants as they are less tolerant of wet conditions than my paph philippinense. Even here in the Philippines where they're supposed to be endemic they are very hard to find.

What about randsii?

Are they easy to find?

Yes, here in the US, randsii is rare and very hard to find. Thank goodness, I have one! :lol:
