I've been nuturing orchids for approximately 3 years. My first paph, from HD only lasted 6 wks:sob: ; it had something wrong with it when I bought it (top buds were shriveled) and foolish me I bought it anyway and wasn't even smart enough to repot it. That was about 2 1/2 years ago. Since then I have acquired and successfully bloomed/rebloomed &/or grown approximately 80 orchids of various types, but no paphs/phrags until a year ago. I bought a NOID paph at HD after looking at it VERY carefully and recently it has rebloomed for me in spades--one of the old spikes has one branch with a bloom and 3 buds looks like more to come, the other old spike has two branches with two buds almost ready to open and numerous other buds and the plant has also put out a third spike which has 4 open blossoms at this time. The color of the blossoms is an extremely bright yellow with red lines all over and a fluorescent pink lip. Due to my success with this one, I recently went crazy and ordered 11 paphs and a phal:rollhappy: , now I've got to figure out where to put them since this winter the orchids are all in the house.
