Thank you for clarifying that the right name is Isobel instead of Isabel.

@GuRu, you are right. I noticed the typo due to the tablets autocorrect functiom. But i could not make the correctipn after posting 😐🤦 As many have pointed put, this plant has a lot of stonei in it. It certainly is not what I expect. However, I am still thankful since this is my first multiflora...

This plant was acquired about 19mths ago from a local vendor. The bud appeared in June of last year and took nearly 6 months before the emergence of the spike as I began to have doubts if a bud blast will take place. Nevertheless I am glad that the spike formed and the plant rewarded me with 2...

I am not sure either. I bought this last July as a Lady isabel as my first attempt with multi floras and I do not have another reference to determine how big this hybrid should be. That said, from internet reference, the stonei would have a curled or bended petal?

@NEslipper I am glad to report that the spike broke out from its shealth 1 month ago! 2 buds for the first spike. The first flower bloomed yesterday and I can see that the petals have spread out further today. Howbeit the dorsal seems capped. Nevertheless, its a exciting moment to see this...

I chance upon this 1year ago in a nursery and was captivated by the coloration. Brought this home and I did a mistake by repotting it immediately. While the flower didn't wither, the second bud blasted. After one year of keeping, the second growth gave me another 2 buds in a spike. The pic here...

I am in Singapore. The climate here is warm throughout at between 32-34C and night time around 27-28C. The pot (before i shifted to this new location for more morning light) used to sit on a tray filled with leca balls. I water once every 4 days for tge last 1 month where before i do it once...

Thank you @big923cattleya. I am not too aure mysekf as this growth doesnt have a split line hende i recken its a bud. It is indeed a small plant hence i was pleasantly surprised to see this springing up few months ago. I fertilised my paphs irregularly. Either fornightly of monthly where I mix...

I have this Lady Isabel for slightly more than a year now. This bud was first spotted about 3 mths + ago. Till now, it just grow to this length without any spike. I am not sure if this is a new leaf or bud after all...would be glad to get some advise here. :) Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. I am surprised as there's online sharing about the need to repot once every few years. Yours is a testament that it may not be true and is depending on the culture.

Wow. You mean that it had not been repot since?

Amazing blooms! How long have this Paph been with you? Would you mind sharing the potting medium used? Thanks :)

Thank you, Dr Leslie, for the guidance. I can now conclude that the plant I have is a Liemianum based on the halo, narrower pouch and the purple spotting on the underside of the leaves. However, I do find the staminode to be rather dark in color too. I do also find the veins on the dorsal of my...

Saw a sequential bloomer in nursery last week with a bud. The purple pigmentation at the leave's underside is attractive. Am glad the flower is very pretty with intense color. I did a web search and found that there's variation in the sequential bloomers. Is there a clear way to tell apart...
