It is hard to say which paph is the most expensive and the cost of it. Some
species maybe very expensive but some maybe very cheap. Its cost relates to what country and what Orchid garden. However, i can only tell you that usually rare species are expensive for example Paph druryi, Paph.randsii, , Paph. sanderianum and some alba paph. The most difficult Paph that i think is Phrag. (it is a type of paph, the whole name is Phragmipedilum). "Tony" ... Which Paph. is the most expensive paph. in the world ? Where and how much ? A photo will be great. Thank you for any inputs. T |

Dicky, I am not a Paph expert, but ... I've heard that Paphs and Phrags are two separate unrelated genera, and one cannot even cross them to make intergeneric hybrids with them. Unfortunately they look so similar that I cannot tell them apart without looking at the tags, but my understanding is that Paph experts don't have that problem. Joanna "Dicky" wrote in message ...

Yes, you are right. Actually, Phrag cannot hv cross with Paph. but they are
in a same genus: Cyprededilum. In my opinion, hybrid usually is not the most expensive. Good luck. "J Fortuna" 撰寫於郵件新聞 ... Dicky, I am not a Paph expert, but ...

Sorry but they're not the same genus, either. Paphiopedilum, phragmipedium, xerophyticum (if you
consider it separate from phrags), and cypripedium are all genera within the family orchidaceae and subfamily cypripedioideae. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

And Selenipedium. :-)
Cypripedioideae consists of Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium (and Mexipedium, for the splitters), Cypripedium, and Selenipedium. Stay tuned until next week when someone else splits off a new genus! Do not send e-mail to the address in the header. Spam trap. Cheers, -AJHicks Chandler, AZ |

I've heard that Paphs and Phrags are two separate unrelated genera, and one cannot even cross them to make intergeneric hybrids with them. Except for the part that they are unrelated genera, that is true. They cannot be hybridized, but are closely related.

In my opinion, hybrid usually is not the most expensive. Cypripedium is a separate genus related to Paphiopedilum and Phragmipedium. I think you mean that they are in the same tribe, since it would be kind of hard for separate genus to be in the same genus. - theoneflasehaddock |

Back to the question...
The most expensive orchid is the one you are willing to pay the most money for! Because no one has yet to figure out how to clone paphs, they generally carry the highest price tags for awarded and select cultivars. I've heard of single divisions of select paph. sanderianum going for 10K and up! Roths aren't far behind. I'm sure the value the owner has on the new FCC roth (2003) is unobtainable for most.
