Paph. Liberty Taiwan 'Daniel'

[papheteer]

It's finally open. This bloom is huge!! And the pouch is HUMONGOUS! Very happy with this bloom. Nice shape and color. It stayed in sheath for more than 7 mos then when it developed the bud it only took weeks to open. You can see the size compared to my hand, and my hand is pretty big. I believe I bought this in our society meeting from Crystal Star Orchids.

Is it a fast grower or not?
I have 3 of them from different Taiwanese nursery, and they are not fast growers...

I bought this in bloom about 3 years ago. It wasn't as good then but I thought it had potential. I remember one membe telling me there's no way i could bloom it better than Mr. Lee. But I thought to myself "it's a first bloom and paphs always improve in the next bloomings". I'm glad I didnt listen to him!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. It's definitely one of the most impressive paphs I've ever bloomed!

Not really a fast grower. It suffered some type of deficiency before but now it's fully recovered. It's also multi growth now so I expect it to bloom faster. I have 2 small ones and they are not that slow.

Super!

Thanks John! Maybe we can trade divisions of our Liberty Taiwans down the road. How's yours?
