Paph. delenatii

[swamprad]

I got this clone from Dennis d'Allessandro a couple of years ago. It bloomed with two spikes this year, but I missed getting a photo while all the blooms were open. The greatest thing is the intense rose fragrance that this clone has. I have another delenatii, also in bloom, that has no fragrance whatsoever. I modify my mix for delenatii, adding some chopped sphagnum to my bark/charcoal/sponge rock mix.
