Paph Screeming Eagle 'Mem J L Amund'

[SlipperKing]

I got this plant from my friend who passed away two years ago. I've had it for about five years and after it's established, it puts out three beautiful flowers. I divided it last year so both pieces have two each.

At your request....petal length

 

[goldenrose]

Are the petals not lengthening from day to day?

 

[SlipperKing]

Rose the first flower is mature, no more lengthening

:sob::sob: This is typical for SE? Certainly is not for MK, I guess I expected sand X's to be similar.

Rose,
Both of my MK's only have 8.5 and 10.5 inch petals respectfully. these petals (SE) 9.5-10 inches. I maybe mistaken but long petals are more of a rarity (Frank Smith's MK) then norm. Help me out here folks!

Very impressive flowers + well grown plant + good photos = perfect display.
Way to go !! :drool:

Yes I would love to hear from others that have had blooming MK (Michael Koopowitz). I'm in a state of surprise on your MK length. There's a part of me that is feeling lucky that my first time blooming MK had 16" petals. Coming from SOF other people were posting longer lengths, I thought that was the norm!

Rose,

the 2nd flower down is said to be Berenice but could it be SK? I've never seen Berenice with petals that long
