Yes! A non-stop bloomer for months!!!!! I bought the plant January 2013. I took a look at the pictures I madein the last year: February, Marsh, Septembre, October... I guess it did not bloom in June, July and August.

Are they seedlings or divisions?

Great plant, thanks for sharing. I just got a Paphinia herrerae alba, that's only a few bulbs. The leaves just dropped off but I hope it survives.

I have one P. herrerae since 2 or 3 years. It did not bloom yet but I hope it will next fall. I just ordered P. herrerae alba from Ecuagenera. Where did you buy yours?

 

[NYEric]

The same source. It would be nice to get a piece w/ 6-7 bulbs.

Under lights. It is at the end of 2 T5 bulbs on a shelf. So low light. HR: Almost always over 65% year long. Sphagnum moss with coarse perlite. Temperature: I thought it was a warm grower but it likes cooler temps for me. I grow it intermediate to cool (min 10 at night in winter) and it thrives!
