here's a pic of my very easygoing paph delenatii that I got a while back from a grower in the binghamton, ny area. i've probably put a pic here before but this is the first flowering with two buds. it's amazing how little attention this species needs; even the mealybug that I have to nail once in a while may walk across the plant but don't seem to have much interest in it. (Thank God for small favors! 
) It seems to grow and flower pretty much no matter what; sometimes it is fairly wet, other times it gets kind of dry, not particularly bright or dark, though it can get warmer in summer. it's one of the few plants that I've had which had large chc's as part of the media, but doesn't seem to be bothered by it. other phal species I've had I think will all have to be taken out of large chc's (and some out of smaller size)
