1. Paph Charles Sladden(bellatulum 'Red Giant' x glaucophyllum v moquetteanum 'Eureak' AM/AOS)
2. Paph (moquettianum x Psyche 'Catatonk Two')
3. Paph Dollgoldi
The first two may be on the verge of putting out a bud, the third, no. And I'm proud to say I did my research before going and these were 3 plants I was actually looking for :-) (Oh how we rationalize things.) Oh yeah, and everything is 25% off :-)
Anyway, anyone have any good feedback, advice, etc about these babies?

Hi, John!
I don't grow those plants but hopefully you get some helpful advice here. Hopefully, Al can give you some tips since he is a member here also! Post some pics of your new Paphs if you can!

Excellent choices! My only advice is to be very patient when it comes to Dollgoldi. I've had mine for years and haven't seen any signs that it wants to bloom.

Yep, Al already gave me some tips, was just curious to hear from the rest of you :-) My recharger is dead for my digital cam batteries, when I get a new one, you'll be sure to get pics asap :-) They're quite nice, beautiful foliage.

I think I am going to fall prey to that sale also - I need (really I need it!) a new Phal. violacea and an Angel Hair has been calling my name. I already have one but it is a bit on the weak side. I am practicing Rob's Rules - there is always room for one more. Also, I burnt my poor Phals and am feeling sorry for myself, and the best thing to do when that happens is of course, to shop!
Oh, and don't worry! Now that I can hang them, I've found the perfect new home for my species Phals in my kitchen window which get's sun at this time of day. Warm and humid in this room, all the time. :D

I hang all my species phals too.
May I suggest you try a Phal Penang Girl, instead of a violacea? Or maybe I should say "in addition to" :wink:

I have several of the moquettianum x Psyche cross. They do well under flourescent lights with intermediate temps. Am hoping to see a couple bloom in the next few months.
