I've probably told this story in the past but I'm going to repeat it. I've had this plant since 97' when it received its award. It doesn't belong to me the female friend that left it in my care has never come back looking for it! I have no contact information for her at the moment.
When it was awarded I think it had 5, maybe, 7 flowers open at once! She grew inside of her garage under lights because she couldn't afford a greenhouse at the time. For me, growing in the GH all these years I've never had anymore then 3 flowers open at once and maybe a maximum of 5 total!
This is the toughest Paph to get a division off I've ever grown. Normally it does the; one old, one blooming and one start thing. I have gotten to divide it twice in all the years. I do have a second piece of this clone in bud/blooming at the moment!
