Paphiopedilum rothschildianum 'Pat'

Submitted by wellsy on Sat, 19/07/2008 - 12:15.

Paphiopedilum rothschildianum (Rchb.f.) Stein, Orchid.-Buch: 482 (1892).

Distribution: Borneo (Mt. Kinabalu)

Paphiopedilum rothschildianum 'Pat' is well grown and flowered by Ken Smart. This species is known only from a very limited range on Mt. Kinabalu and is widely regarded as one of the most fabulous and spectactular orchids. It can take up to 15 years to flower from seedlings but is well worth the wait!

may have sold this plant

Submitted by wellsy on Mon, 04/02/2008 - 18:49.

I'll see if that is possible. The grower has moved on out of Paphs and unfortunately he may have sold this plant....not sure how you could do that myself.

it's not the money

Submitted by wellsy on Mon, 04/02/2008 - 20:01.

No...it's not the money...the gent in question has simply moved on to easier things to look after. His age has caught up with him and he has decided to grow less demanding plants.

I can understand that myself really but still not sure if I could part with a thing of such beauty It would be very hard.
