Hey everyone,

Let me start by saying my orchid experience is almost entirely Phals. Plus I have one Dendrobium and one Oncidium. I've been wanting a Paph forever, and I'm going to the Pacific Orchid Expo tomorrow. Last year, they had plenty of Paphs available so I'm hoping they do again.

I was wondering if there were any easier to care for Paphs OR, particular ones I should avoid as a Paph beginner? I've always wanted a P. venustum, but not sure if that's a good starter.

This orchid will be growing in entirely different conditions from my others, as it's going to remain in the Bay Area, California when I'm not here. It can be grown indoor or outdoor. Hoping for something not too difficult as my fiance's going to take care of it when I'm back home. I don't want to burden him. Hilarious!

I think I posted a similar thread a year or so ago asking about starter Paphs, but if I did, it's long buried...

Any suggestions?
Слава Україні! Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine!
