Imagine my excitement when I saw a bud peeking out of this first bloom plant! It is my favourite album multifloral ever since I saw it in the book ‘Paphiopedilums of Borneo’.

It started with four cute deep yellow buds that reminded me of mangos lol and so it was named as such.

Here’s the series for the opening of the first flower:

An appropriate clonal name. That is truly outstanding.

Is this a normal time for lowii to be flowering in the northern hemisphere? Coincidently I have a lowii at the exact same stage in the other half of the world.
 
Yes apparently some bloomed last month in this region. So I guess they bloom when growths are matured from fall to spring. What a species!

Incidentally I have a normal lowii in spike now as well.
