Paph Delrosi 'Florafest' HCC/QOS

[emydura]

Second time I have flowered this. I got two flowers last time so am happy with three. It had 4 flowers when it was awarded so room for improvement.

You can just see another spike following behind in the first photo. A lot of people always ask how can they get there Delrosi to flower as they find it all but impossible. The original owner of this clone said on this forum that he found 'Florafest' to be a shy flowerer that would only spike every three years or so. This will be my third flowering in 7 months. So I'm doing something right but I'm not sure what. It is a lot cooler where I live so that may help. I'm finding 'Florafest' to be a great grower that flowers as soon as the growth matures.

Much the same light as the multi's. They sit on the same bench. This one generally sits at the front of the glasshouse where it may get a little more light.
