Here is a picture of my new Paph. wilhelminiae that I got at the AOS MN show. From Andys Orchid . It has a 11 inch leaf spand & Andy said it should bloom this year.

Very nice! I think mine bloomed for the first time on a 10" growth on a multigrowth plant.

Congratulations, very nice! You did better than I....Didn't buy any slippers today. :(

Seldom see wilhel bloom on single growth plant .. Should be able to bloom as far as the second growth is sent out .

I got mine from Andy's in November 02 (NBS single growths). They bloomed this year with 3 growths up, and the largest growths have spans of about 7 inches.

2 years isn't too bad to wait....if the plant is not in my collection :lol:

That's why you need a couple dozen blooming size plants to keep you busy while you wait for the babies.

It was fun meeting you at the AOS show, Eric. Did you get anything else?

My Paph haul:
Paph fowliei album in bud
Paph fowliei album flask
Paph Conconbell
Paph barbigerum
Paph emersonii in bloom

Hi Ross, Here is my full list of what I got . I was on a budget . :cry:

Paph. henryanum ('Select' X 'Tall Stem') Seedling from You
Paph. wilhelminiae NBS from Andys Orchids
Lc. Lake Tahoe NBS from Gold country Orchids
Slc. Jungle Gem NBS from Gold country Orchids

Well selected! Gold Coutry is one of my favorite nonslipper orchid vendors. The plants are always healthy, the prices reasonable, and those mini-cat flowers are gorgeous.

Nice selections you guys!
