Second Paph henryanum of the Season

This one is a first bloom seedling from a flask I bought a few years back. The parents are 'Bear' SM/TPS x 'Sie Fong' BM/TPS. The plant is growing in a 2 1/4 inch pot.

Studdly makes a great backdrop! Beautiful clone!

Wonderful! How do you grow them? I've been growing them for 20 years, and never had a bloom - other paphs bloom but not these.

Where do you live? I live in north central Minnesota, so even in the house, the plants get relatively cool. BTW, the HIGH temp here was 64F (17C) today.

Ross, that is a really nice flower, great dorsal colors, flat and wide segs!

PS. same goes for the cat too

Cute kitty too, doing what cats do best - hogging the limelight

It is not particularly large, NS = 7.5cm, DS = 3.5cm, but it is a single growth first bloom seedling.

Here's a side by side size comparison with the previously posted henryanum. My apologies for the color.

Very nice Ross. Like you said possible small but yet only a first bloom seedling.

I booked my flight to Orlando for Nov. for the Paph Forum. Will you be there?

Not yet. Where can I find the information?

Well the official notification hasn't come out yet. I've been talk Scott earlier in the week and he is trying to get together a new web site and do the official notification. Frank has just the dates listed on his web site but Scott is doing all the computer stuff and hopes to have the information out any day now. Seems as the people that had the web site and all the information, dismantled the whole thing so Scott is running around trying to come up with an all new page.

Studs and Trubby have been amazingly unconcerned with my orchids. The only mishap was once when Studdly jumped to a shelf and accidently knocked a plant off while walking along it. Studs, of course, thought that he was perfectly graceful and had nothing to do with the plant falling.

Nice flower, it's a beauty!

Interesting. Some cats seem to be very interested in orchids -- playing with them/eating them. Others, couldn't be less bothered.
