To ensure you make the right choice when deciding to purchase a Paphiopedilum orchid you need to learn as much as you can about them. Here are 7 key points to keep in mind:
- The striking silhouette of the Paphiopedilum is easily recognized, and a favorite orchid type among growers. Called the lady slipper orchid, Paphiopedilum is the name given to 60 species. They originated in a widespread area of the Old World-India and China. By the 21st century, they had found habitats in Indonesia South China, Burma, The Philippines, Solomon Islands, and New Guinea, and they have found their way into homes, green houses, and conservatories across the world.
- While many orchids grow in trees, Paphiopedilum are earth-bound, and known for their bowl-like lip, called the pouch (which gives them their common name of "lady slipper"), and a prominent dorsal sepal, part of the flower enclosing petals facing away from the axis.
- Their lack of thick rhizomes make them one of the easiest orchids to repot.
- Experienced orchid growers will tell you that to maintain a good root system for Paphiopedilum Orchids, it should be nestled in a "medium" composed of New Zealand sphagnum moss, fine orchid bark mix, or medium orchid bark mix, in a pot with good drainage.
- Water twice a week. Putting gravel between the pot and dish will allow water to leave the pot immediately, and desirable that air is able to circulate under the pot. A small amount of water soluble fertilizer, such as Growmore 20-10-20 or Dyna Gro 7-9-5, should be added to the water, once each month, according to package instructions. Experts also recommend occasionally flushing the pot with water to remove accumulated fertilizer.
- Placing the lady slipper orchid near a light source will serve its needs, but avoid any area with direct sun. Useful to know, temperatures that suit humans will also suit Paphiopedilum.
- We often hear about misting orchids and perhaps want to join the fun. If there's a heat-seeking person who runs the temperature up on the thermostat, moisture is removed from the air, and justifies a good misting for your orchid in the morning. Try not to get water in the pouch; it will damage the bloom, causing it to degenerate. Otherwise in most cases, misting this orchid is not necessary.
- With the care recommended here, you'll have the pleasure of seeing these lovely blooms for three months.
- When it comes time to repot, about every six months, trim the dead roots, keep the plant intact, and provide the smallest pot large enough for the root system. Hold back somewhat on watering until new growth appears, being careful not to let the new growth be buried in the medium. Keep it in a shady area until new growth begins, then gradually move it out into a lighted area.
With these simple directions, you will have many opportunities to enjoy your orchid's extraordinary presence.

The Solomon Islands $8.99 Nature is excessive, lovely, and ominous in the Solomons and the Melanesians who live there, often blond or redheaded, are the blackest of all people. Before World War II such names as Guadalcanal, Savo, Munda were rarely heard. Guadalcanal, over 100 miles long by 30 miles wide, is the largest island. Then in descending order there's Malaita, San Cristobal, Choiseul, New Georgia, and Santa Ysabel. All of them are mountainous, covered with rain forest, and laced with rivers. The remaining hundreds of islands range from substantial, to mere dots of coral. Now 68 years after WW II, the Solomons have regained "back of beyond" status, and a modern day escapist might again look at these islands with interest. Honiara, the capital of Guadalcanal, didn't exist when I was there during World War II. They were the British Solomon Islands then, and the hardware of war that littered the land still bore the scent of death. That debris is still there, but now it's rusty, coral-encrusted, and softened with time. When asked about these remnants, most islanders, not even born at the time of that war, will shrug as if to say, "Don't all beaches have rusting landing craft? Aren't there rotting field pieces, aIrcraft and tanks in all jungles?" Today even the most remote islands have usable airstrips that date back to those ancient days. In 1944, courtesy of the USS Acontius, the Solomons were my first South Sea islands. I'd never seen a coconut palm, or a reef with translucent water, a man with a bone in his nose, a thatched village on stilts under palms on a white beach, and I'd never felt the violence of a South Pacific rain squall. In spite of the war I was impressed, hooked and, after several subsequent trips, remain hooked. Still these islands aren't for everyone. There are few activity-filled resorts, it can be hot and humid, the inter-island seas can be rough, there aren't many roads, and there is some malaria. But it's real Melanesia, and for "do it yourself travel" there are plenty of inter island boats, adequate housing, gentle people, and beauty. And, thanks to World War II, you can get nearly everywhere by air. Two hundred fifty thousand Solomon Islanders live on the six main islands and associated clusters that slant across the Coral Sea for 900 miles. Ninety-four percent of them are black Melanesians, but a small fraction are Micronesian, Chinese, a few are European, and curiously some are Polynesian. This guide to the Solomons, written by an author who has seen them all and has been there dozens of times, is loaded with inside information and details on the places to stay and eat, plus what to see and do. It's filled with color photos of the people, the islands and the unforgettably beautiful scenery. |

Solomon Islands Campaign $124.27 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Solomon Islands campaign was a major campaign of the Pacific War of World War II. The campaign began with Japanese landings and occupation of several areas in the British Solomon Islands and Bougainville, in the Territory of New Guinea, during the first six months of 1942. The Japanese occupied these locations and began the construction of several naval and air bases with the goals of protecting the flank of the Japanese offensive in New Guinea, establishing a security barrier for the major Japanese base at Rabaul on New Britain, and providing bases for interdicting supply lines between the Allied powers of the United States and Australia and New Zealand.

History of the Solomon Islands $82.85 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The human history of the Solomon Islands begins with the first settlement at least 30,000 years ago from New Guinea. They represented the furthest expansion of humans into the Pacific until the expansion of Austronesianlanguage speakers through the area around 4000 BC, bringing new agricultural and maritime technology. Most of the languages spoken today in the Solomon Islands derive from this era, but some thirty languages of the preAustronesian settlers survive (see East Papuan languages).
