New Kid on the Block: Paph. Ho Chi MInh

[masaccio]

Just in today. P. delanatii 'Dunkel' x vietnamense. Huge PB growth and two small new growths on the way. A little brown blemish on the larger new growth (you can't see other one) but it won't matter in the long run. I decided to go with the "Premium' blooming size. Maybe a mistake. If I'd gotten the regular blooming size (not necessarily "Premium") it might be poised to bloom instead of just having bloomed. Delayed gratification. But also, being previously bloomed, someone somewhere would have had the opportunity to judge the flower. I guess I'm still excited. All nice and repotted with a little chopped sphagnum added to the airy bark mix

I think they could be brothers lol. Here’s mine waiting to bud:

Wow that plant looks big. My single-growth postbloom rescue took four years to rebloom but the newest growth is moving pretty fast and when I repotted, tons of roots. It bloomed this spring after I tortured it with a dry November.
