Second flower bloomed. Bit of a white blotch on each flower’s pouch that I hope goes away next round, but overall happy with the result!

First time blooming this guy. The flower stayed in sheath so long I got worried, 😂

First blooming on my Paph Hello Dolly (Doll’s Kobold x thaianum). Another flower is on the way.

The avatar is actually the previous bloom on the same plant.

It was around mid August when it was clear that it was going to flower. Like malipoense, it took its time before things really got going. It was in full bloom around the beginning of January. That’s too bad about yours. Hopefully they start behaving themselves!

I’ve had this one for at least 6 years now, and unfortunately the original tag has been lost in that time. I think it was an eBay seller, though. Sorry!

It is! This particular one is a good grower (windowsill culture), and reliable enough for blooming.

Just finished blooming.

Haha, I mean, it isn’t fully transparent. One could say translucent as well :P

It’s going to be a bit of time on the bud, but I am really pleased with these roots! About a year ago I transferred all my paphs to semi-opaque plastic, and they seem to really like the change.

Love the colors!

Hahaha that would be a colossal failure.

Finally got the black matte background to work. Flower spread is about 4.25 inches.

Thanks! I noticed that it turns out to be a really hard color to photograph accurately. Black backgrounds didn't seem to work very well, at least with my phone camera.
