This year is already 3 months old and at last the first Paphs are in flower now.

Three other ones are spiking and the buds are starting to open. So hopefully next pics will be here very soon.

I am about sure, I posted this one already, :(! so redo!

Very nice both!!! I am still trying to get used to this concolor var., but I like this heart-like stami a lot!!!! Jean
 
As I promised few weeks ago here are the next blooms.

Paph. callosum has been often shown but I think it is worth to be shown 'often plus one' times.

Paph. godefroyae f. album was shown by me one year ago when it flowered for the very fist time as Paph. leucochilum f. album. Contrary to other album forms which can be touchy ones is it a good grower and so far a reliable bloomer. It's always a challenge for the camera to focus these white flowers.

Paph. adductum is flowering for the very first time in my collection. So far it's a rare species and therefor I'm very pleased with it.

Wow, very nice photos, I love the close ups of the adductum. They are a tough one to keep going, good growing on your part.
 
Neon, Rudolf!

Thanks for your critical comment, Dot! Very helpful!
It was late and I was tired and obviously it seems my head was in bed already. :D
I changed the settings as far as possible. I think its not perfect but better now!

Thanks Leo, I will give you wishes on to my plant!

Paphiopedilum hangianum
I purchased this plant a bit more than 2 years ago in a well known Paph nursery as Paph emersonii. I think it has been less my care in the last years than more a classical case of mislabeling that it blossomed out as Paph. hangianum!! But to be honest - I know worse cases of mislabeling!!:):)
The fresh fragrance of the bloom is stunning.
