Jim Asher (1941-1996) was an active orchid researcher during the 1980’s when he took numerous trips to the jungles of Indonesia, Sarawak, and Sabah looking for Paphiopedilums. He found and photographed Paphiopedilum sanderianum, rothschildianum, stonei, lowii, victoria-mariae, javanicum, primulinum, purpurescens, glaucophyllum, and chamberlainianum. He spent a month in 1982 at Kew Herbarium in London doing research on Paph elliottianum, Paph adductum, and Paph supardii and took numerous photographs. He named two new paphiopedilum species: Paphiopedilum adductum (1983) and Paphiopedilum richardianum and had several substantive articles published in Orchid Digest, all illustrated with his own photography.
I am interested in disposing of all of Jim’s orchid slides – I will give them away with the recipient responsible for any costs associated with packing and shipping them. They currently occupy 18 running feet of shelf space.
