Paph stonei in flower from sunny Victoria

[SlipperKing]

Apparently, stonei's prefer artifical light to nature, yours and JP's are monster growths.

Amazing growing and blooming!

Very jealous here. I love this species and yours is a great example.

Just to my surprise another flower spike from a beast of a stonei!

In the background on the left is another spike with pods on the same plant. I got pollen from another member's stonei.

Paphman, Is this the same strain as the pollen you sent to Rick? Whatever it was, it is a very strong one! The seedlings from it are going very well, have good colour and not taken a backward step! I read in Birk's book that some don't grow much and others grow very well. I think your plants must be the latter kind!!

Yes it is the same plant that I sent the pollen to Rick.

First flower just opened fully today. When I have time I will post it.
