[SlipperFan]

Can you post a few close ups of the flowers?

I'll try to take some photos tomorrow.

One of my favorites! Are you growing this under lights? Why wont my Paphs bloom!?

Under shade cloth under a tree in the Summer. Inside under lights in my warm basement "greenhouse."

Stunning Dot. This seem a nice reliable plant for you.
David

add my compliments to the list because that is an unstoppable plant.

David and fbrem -- It has been a good grower and bloomer. Keep your fingers crossed that it will continue to be "unstoppable".

Thanks, everyone!

Chris -- Time passes so quickly, and I don't record when I purchase something. But I would guess 5-6 years.

[John M]

Wow, again! Those close-ups are so cool! Look at that staminode sheild...I love it!

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

WOW


This is hands down the most stunning Paph ever (IMHO)!

I have only ever seen one other and yours is far more stunning. You're also a fantastic photographer and know just how to show off the best features of the bloom!

Thank you!

 

[Kavanaru]

wow! those last pics are fantastic! (envious for the Paph and for the photo-skills )

I wonder why this cross is not offered more often....

 

[Bolero]

I think it has a well-deserved reputation for low germination, slow growth, reluctant flowering and mediocre flowers. Dot seems to have a high-performance clone, and she has obviously perfected its culture.
