Hi all,
My second real post! I feel so accomplished now. Here are two Paph randsii in first bloom. Both from Sam Tsui's "New World' x 'California Dream' sib cross. Not the 10 flowers of the best from that cross but a good start at 6 flowers each. At about 8 weeks open, these are well past peak bloom as I've been sort of busy and couldn't get to the pix until now. Expecting the flowers to drop within the next week. I like randsii a lot but like another ST'er mentioned, the odor (fragrance=good, odor=not so good) is a bit reminiscent of cat pee. I grow in a small space and with two of these going at the same time, I definitely noticed something smelling a bit off-putting whenever I went in. You'll need to have a real appreciation for randsii whenever you stand right on top of them at peak bloom. Definitely not something you want to bring into the dining room to appreciate.
