Paphiopedilums

I do not grow very many Paphs.  The only Paphs that I have are ones that were given to me.  Below are pictures of two that I have in bloom right now.  These are very reliable bloomers.  They bloom once each year around April or May.  Any they take very little care.  I keep them indoors.  They do not like a lot of light.  They are the only orchids that I have been able to bloom indoors.  They do not require much fertilizer.  The main thing is do not let them get dry.  They tend to like their media to be on the damp side most of the time.
