  1. Hi Joseph,

    I like your paphs, especially paph godefroyae fma angthong alba.
    It's elegant and robust looking. Keep it up.

    I only have 1 Paph hybrid :
    Paph Sugar Suite (niveum 'Hsinying x emersonii 'M.C).

    This plant was bought from one of the Taiwan Stall during last year Orchids Show. It's still growing in the small transparent plastic pot with the original medium (sphag moss) in it. I have added some limestone chips into the moss recently.

    I have placed the plant near to my apartment living window with reflected daylight for past 6 months. The plant received 1 thorough watering once a week. So far, the plant has produced a small side shoot. The side shoot is still developing slowly.

    Am I doing the right thing?

    Thanks.
