Paph. (McLaren Park 'Oceana' x Mountain Meadow 'Absinthe')

Three blooms this year! I wish there were a show coming up that was near enough for me to be able to spare the time to go to. I also, for example, have a Bulbophyllum sulawesii with seven spikes on it (the first ones are just starting to open).

Nicely grown!

 

[Hien]

The flower is beautiful.
But my Gods, where do you live in Lynchburg?
I was at VPI during college.
the background looks like the flower is housed in a castle.

Yes, except that it's "he."

Yes, except that it's "he."

Ah, so the view is from a campus bldg.
There is another one of your posts, the photos show the background that make me miss the view of the distant mountain & valley from my apt building near the university in Blacksburg.:sob:

 

[Park Bear]

wow, stunning

 

[SlipperFan]

I like the delicate spotting.

Hien – I was at VT last year; Sweet Briar this year. Both are lovely campuses (campi?). I've never made it up to VMI, but I know a guy there in the Philosophy Dept.

This complex has been a faithful bloomer, and really very consistent; no deformed blooms, not ever. I wish it had a name!

 

[Elena]

Nice, great colour!

 

[NYEric]

Yes, except that it's "he."

Sorry, I assumed you were a she due to the screen name Sue!

It's a good thing you apologized, because that error is clearly your fault, not mine.

Or, less sarcastically - no problem.
