Paph praestans and 3D

[gore42]

As the title says

I bought several of these last summer and this was my first to bloom. I was hoping for one with more yellow in the dorsal, but I like the colors on this one nonetheless. Here's the plant with two blooms open:

And, following in the trend of past 3Ds, this one is even larger and slower to download than the others. I can't help myself. I hope you have some patience. Sorry about the overexposure on the back of the sepals.

Looks very much like the one I got from you, Matt. Are they sibs? After 2 months in bloom, mine is dropping it's flowers.

And if I like it - it's really great Matt as ever. :drool:
And don't be too critical to you photos or 3D's. If you hadn't mentioned the overexposure of the petals backside I'm convinced nobody would have noticed it.
