Paph. tigrinum

[rdlsreno]

Finally, one of the three spikes initiated bloomed! The other two bud blasted as you can see on the picture of the whole plant. I followed H. Koopowitz advice of placing it in a cooler and humid environment. So I lowered the light intensity and placed it in a cooler environment and it bloomed. I also tried not to get the crowns wet. This plant also I bought two years ago as a previously flowered plant (I intentionally did this so I know the plant can bloom, I was afraid the bud blasting was genetically influenced). This is the first time I saw the flower and I am happy. It came from Orchid Zone.

Nice flower Ramon!!

Just want to clarify, do you put the plant in a lower light, cooler and humid environment after you see the sheath or Koopowitz suggests to grow this plant in that kind of environment?

 

[Mrs. Paph]

Very nice flower and nice pic - I love how the little fuzzies show up on the edges of the petals!

 

[John M]

That's really nice! I love the dorsal and wide, flat petal tips. Great colour!

Right. It initiates fairly easy that is when I put it in a this condition.

I brought my tigrinum in to see yours in flower.

I hope they take it as a challenge to do as good

Very nice Ramon:clap:
