Hello all,

I have been reading and enjoying this forum for over an hour now (am seriously getting back into orchids :) and was wondering if anyone has a paph Pinocchio, and if they do, who are the parents? I had one several years back, but lost it (moved to the country, water softener for the well.. was exhausting dipping all my orchids into rain buckets or bringing water up from the brook....) anyway... Pinocchio died. This summer we did away with the water system - yes! and I am back into my beloved orchids and went in search of Pinocchio but found that one had Paphiopedilum moquettianum as a parent, and another has Paph glaucophyllum (both have Paph primulinum as the same parent). Does anyone know, is there a huge difference? The Pinocchio I had bloomed forever and was super easy to grow (except for the whole well thing....) Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Lynn
