Paph. gardineri

[billc]

This is the first time blooming on this plant. Once the plant matures how many blooms does a gardineri generally get?

Can't give you an answer to your question, but I'm curious about the pot size. It looks to be about 4"? If that's so, it gives me hope that mine is large enough to bloom. Nice job!

1-3 is pretty standard, 2 the most common average.

Looks good:clap:

Good looking large flowers!!! Jean

 

[SlipperKing]

It will be a good one if you get 3 on a regular basis. Nice start

Nice start!!! I love this species!
I agree 2 flowers are standard, at least that was the case with mine. When it matures it's capable of producing multiple new growths which mean multiple spikes, that's when the real show begins!

It's in a 2" aircone. When I got it the spring there was 1 fan with a small start and now there's 3 starts along with the blooming fan.

A very easy multi-floral.

Of course it depends on whose taxonomy you follow. Paphs glanduliferum, praestans, wilhelminae and gardineri have been lumped and split in many different configurations. Currently Kew accepts P. wilhelminae and glanduliferum as valid species, with gardineri and praestans both synonyms of glanduliferum.
