Paph Lyro Valentine (delenatii x wilhelminae)

[L I Jane]

I bought this back in 05 as a BS plant but I had almost given up that it would bloom for me as it just kept putting on growths & nothing! This year imagine my surprise when I suddenly noticed it had a spike & then 2 more spikes appeared If all goes okay it should bloom over a period of time since each spike is at a different rate of growth.Here is the 1st bloom which appears to be very similar to Gloria Naugle but not quite as large.

I like it. Marilyn Hanson-esque.

It's a fantastic bloom. I love it. I also have one which I bought from Ratcliffe a couple of years ago. It is a healthy plant but I'm still waiting for a bud. Now I'm even more anxious. - - Marilyn

Wow, that's nicely coloured! It's got the super colour intensity of P. Michelle Barringham (Delrosi x philippinense).
