well... I have been waiting for quite long for any of my Paph helenae (my favorite Paph!!) to bloom, and now 3 of them are doing it... they are all coming from different vendors, so... let's see The 4th plant is var. delicatulum, but I think I need to wait one more year... I am so happy, I had to let it out... and which better place for that than here in ST?

Where are the pics Ramon????oke:
These are so exciting moments...

Jorch, actually not too weird... most Paph helenae I have seen in bloom were between July and August (plus one in November)... this is also "in agreement" with the information provided in Slipperorchids, where the blooming period is given, based on different sources, from July to October...

Can't wait to see the flowers!

Kavanaru, same for me here ! Three helenae are showing a spike. Two comes from different vendors. I am very happy too

Where did you managed to get a var. delicatulum ? I could kill for this one :evil:

ok Damas, I will never give you my address... LOL I have the delicatum directly from Franz Glanz...

this is great !!! A lot of helenae blooms to come!!! :clap::clap::clap: Jean
