I'll take it ;)

I can’t see the pictures :(

That's very nice.

Good god, that's a tall beast... lovely leaves.

That is what I have always assumed to be the case.

Pfft, I talk to my orchids all the time and my cats and myself, even occasionally to my husband ;)

Not sure what the X is as that's all the label has ever said. Has been a reliable bloomer for me for about 16 years. Paphio Sukhakulii x by Tara Rerrie, on Flickr Paphio Sukhakulii x by Tara Rerrie, on Flickr Thanks for looking

To be clear I’m very happy with my little paph but I hope the second one is closer to the orig photo on the site 😉

It is different isn’t it. Had thought about emailing him as he is the source of this plant, I’ll be interested to see pics of your blooms when they pop

My first flower from this miniature, the flower is about 8cm wing tip to wing tip and the fan itself is about 10cms across, which seems like a good grow space to flower ratio :). The pouch is a bit lop sided, I'll be interested to see if the second flower is straighter. Paph. HELLO DOLLY...

Very nice, as is the Acer behind it xD

I bought the exact same chap, I bet from the same seller too :)
