This was my very first Paph. purchased many years ago. It was originally labeled as delenatii, but was later identified by an AOS judge as Ho Chi Minh. It has always been a good bloomer but this year outdid itself. Normally it carries just 2 flowers. This year there are 3. I'm not sure if all 3 will be open at once. The first flower to open is on the right. For some reason it did not open all the way. Maybe the petals were pushed up against the other buds. The second flower to open looks much better. I sure wish the blooms lasted longer on these.
