compared to other paphs that I have, I always give Parvi a slightly drier and cooler winter. this one routinely got down to mid-30s (F) by my garage windows along with my few Neofinetia falcata...perhaps patience is what we need for those.Very nice large one.
How did you encourage the blooming trigger?
no plan for that, but I 'might' do a trade(for a nice clone of armeniacum).Find someone with a really round one and make babies!
Natural spread is not flatten but measured as best across from tip to tip. Only the flower parts like petals are flattened when measured.That is a big flower , I think it is at 13 cm compares to the ruler ( not 12 cm that you mentioned)
I always wonder in the case of many orchid species , the flowers are not 100% flat , some even with strange shape, how do the judges measure the flowers?
Do they flatten the petals to get the true length of each petals?
not quite 13cm but for sure is more than 12cm NS(natural spread--flower petal tip to tip).That is a big flower , I think it is at 13 cm compares to the ruler ( not 12 cm that you mentioned)
thanks for the explanation LeslieNatural spread is not flatten but measured as best across from tip to tip. Only the flower parts like petals are flattened when measured.
Very nice! How much time did you have to wait since seeing the bud until bloom?Here are some fast photos: and sorry about the finger nails...

about six months.Very nice! How much time did you have to wait since seeing the bud until bloom?
Oh well...that means I have to be patient. I am very happy that my 2 armeniacum are budding.about six months.
If they are in bud now, they might develop faster....In this part of the world(NE, U.S), they normally start budding in late summer/early fall. The flower buds won't do anything in the colder months here.Oh well...that means I have to be patient. I am very happy that my 2 armeniacum are budding.
