Parvisepalum Paphs.

Attended a talk by Norito Hasegawa on the Parvisepalum group of Paphiopedilum. I'm not into Paphs having resisted the urge to lay down major funds for rothschildianum etc and have never grown these guys but this subgroup sounds very attractive. They are from Viet Nam and surrounding areas and seem to like it cool and moist. I like plants with that requirement.
Local vendors have few to none of these. Andy lists none, neither does Cal Orchids, SBOE offers one. On eBay, Chinese vendors appear a good bet. Of American vendors, Piping Rock Orchids has a good selection of both species and hybrids at reasonable prices. Mount Prospect Orchids and Orchids Limited also has a great selection but judging from their prices, the pots must be made out of gold. Too heavy for my benches
Is anyone growing this subgroup, what is your experience? Who are your favorite vendors for these plants?
Nick.
