Whole plant and profile pic



I got the plant from Windy Hill. It gets close to what I would call "cactus" growing conditions, and it blooms every year.

Here is my little guy:) It's been open for 3 or 4 days but doesn't seem like it wants to flatten out anymore. The dorsal is hooded over quite a bit.

It does mean a lot of sun. Its in the SE corner of the GH with no shade cloth. I have a temp probe on the plant, and on sunny summer days its hit over 105 F on the leaf surface. The leaves are thick, stiff, and almost succulent. I reduce water in the winter, but it gets as much water as most other paphs in summer.

Actually two more spikes coming up. The plant spreads on a thick rhizome which has gone over the side of the pot like a Cattleya.
 
@ Rick and SlipperKing

Congrats also to you to flower P. druryi. Though this species isn't often to see this thread shows it three times -- that's great.
Best regards from Germany, GuRu
