Very nice!
Beth, you sure are lucky to be able to yank them off the bushes. Our
paphs are like near extinction here cos they are all zapped out illegally. I started collecting the
paphs cos of their leaf pattern. Got 1 plant and that was it.
I like some of the
phrags but it's a waste of time growing them here. I did try. They just slowly shrink away. Kinda like a magic show, now you see, now you don't! The
Phrag kovachii is very interesting.
I only keep the hot growing ones now and I don't have many. I am down to about 1,000 plts.
