Paph lowii

[bigleaf]

Tada! It opens. I love the color. I got this at Redland 2-3 years ago. I left it in moss and it didn't do well. Last year I repotted it into bark mix and grow it properly. It is starting to recover. Pleased to get flowers finally.

FWIW - I bought two Paph Ho Chih Minh at the same time and left them in moss. They bloomed the flowering years. Moss isn't too bad if water quality and frequency can be controlled.

Waiting on more buds to open

Paph Lady Isabel

More Paph rothschildium

Beautiful!
My favorite multi along with phillipinense & parishii!

Those micranthum are cute, too!

Yes, pretty much any potting medium wil work as long as watering is done properly.

Fabulous colour. What is its origin/parents?
As lowii is an epiphyte it likes plenty of drainage.
can't wait for the other flowers.

Really amazing! You seem to grow Paphs as well as you grow Phals.

What would lowii crossed with micranthum look like?

The colour and form of that lowii is incredible. As good as it gets.

Thank you all. Remember this just opened so the flower can change. I will update again when more flowers open.

It's my first Paph lowii. I think flower size is on the small size but I just want to try if I can rebloom it. I like the color when I bought it. I couldn't justify buying a more expensive division until I am comfortable to keep these alive.

Generally speaking I have good luck with multi flora.

A beauty! Please post it again with mature flowers. The colour is awesome.

I'd love to take a walk through your greenhouse....:drool:
