Nice one, thanks for the culture tips!

That is a nice one.

Does anyone have a theory as to why the dorsal sepal stands upright, almost bending backwards instead of bowing over the pouch like other Paphs? I've always been curious about this.

The variations of each bloom is quite interesting. All of them are lovely in different ways.
