You are making me want one of these, Uri.

Great photo, Uri! :clap:

And that's a very interesting texture behind the staminode. Almost looks like a strawberry.

Stunning Uri, one of the best I have seen

Looks great Uri.

I've got one opening now too. The staminode is real cosmic on these guys. How about a closeup?

15cm!! nice!!!

I love this species... to me, it is the most elegantly lady-like of all the Paphs!

has anyone crossed this with a roth?

Nice lighting as usual, Uri.
