Totally agreed!WOW. What a display. That is a ripping clone. You could win champion Paph, champion seedling and champion specimen with that. Such a beautiful compact plant as well.

I suggest a virtual AM/CCM/ST!
I went to the Orchid show at Missouri Botanical Gardens in Feb. 2017. On the floor of the show was a small single growth, 2 flower St. Swithin. I took a pic of it, and after returning home, went looking for one. At that time I discovered this forum and Sam Tsui. I ordered it from Sam, along with quite a few others. I also ordered from Piping Rock and Paph Paradise....All healthy excellent plants!Wow~ First time bloom but with that many (and excellent quality) flowers!! It looks to be a real fast clumper, too! Overall, this is a super plant! Cherish the baby!
May I ask where it came from? Or parents?
Thanks Rich... I was actually kinda wondering why it hadn’t bloomed sooner, with so many growths. Before the blooms, I thought I would divide it. Now, I’m thinking don't divide and repot?awesome find, great growing, and result... my favorite color combo in a St Swithin... love the light colored pouches

Aha~ Thanks! I would love one but always worried that these would turn out to be major space hog. I think I would enjoy this as photos only. However, if you ever divide this compact grower, I would totally try my hands on it. What other paphs do you like? Maybe we could trade?I went to the Orchid show at Missouri Botanical Gardens in Feb. 2017. On the floor of the show was a small single growth, 2 flower St. Swithin.

It wasn’t a large plant, but it was a single growth. It has been a very aggressive grower and the only Saint Swithin I have purchased. It has been in this pot since July of 2019. That is a bit of a dilemma, the next size and style of pot. This is the biggest air cone pot, so I will be trying another style/larger size pot. I’m pretty certain it will add more growths in a larger pot!!Aha~ Thanks! I would love one but always worried that these would turn out to be major space hog.

How big was this plant initially? It has so many growths in such a short period of time!
