Paph. philppinese

Anyone remember JEM Orchids in FL? About 18 years ago, my partner, Mike visited Redland show and brought this philippinense as a gift. It has been through ups and downs and it looks like it is about to bloom.

Yep, I bought a fantastic ST Swithin from them in 1997, last orchid I bought for 5 years

No, but it feels like it. The last time it bloomed was March 2011. Here is the pic

Well would you say you have mastered its culture by now?

I don't know if I'd call it mastered. I mostly got away from growing paphs for a while but I kept this one because of a sentimental value.

I'm looking forward to seeing the blooms shortly.

Not a philippinense in my opinion.

Maybe Mount Toro.
