Paph. sangii

This one takes forever to open! I don't think it's finished yet.

I agree, it's open, but still has some stretching out to do.

Nice color. How long have you been growing this plant?

Nice color. How long have you been growing this plant?

About four years. It's spiked in the past but blasted. So this year, I got sick of it and stuck it in a corner and forgot about it until a month ago when I was moving some plants around and noticed a nice healthy bud on it!

Awesome.... Cross that onto fairrieanum :drool:

Nice flowers! It is a very fussy grower and I bet you repot this plant yearly and use very clean water.

Very nice Lien

 

[lienluu]

how do you grow yours (potting mix, light, etc) ?

Just my normal mix, seedling bark, charcoal and sponge rock. I have it actually in a shadier part of the GH. I did grow them in higher light in past years but the spikes never matured past about 2". Like I said, i got sick of it doing that for several years so i stuck them all in a corner and forgot about them. They don't get any special treatment at all and i just water with my normal tap water.

I do keep them fairly moist though.

Just got my new camera today, though the macro lens won't be here till Tuesday! Anyhow, here is an updated shot. I don't think this flower has anymore stretching to do as it's been like this now for 2 or 3 days.

Nice photo Lien. I can't wait till you take pictures with your new camera. Hopefully you can take closeup picture of your Paph sangii. I rarely see nice photos of this species. You should also take pictures of the plant and the flower spike. It is truly a beautiful species. Congrats!
