Paphiopedilum Fumi's Delight 'Vaso' AM/AOC

[Bolero]

First of all - that is gorgeous! Amazing to see such a small plant flowering so big! One thing to watch out for (and I'm sure you're aware of this) is to not let the little guy bloom itself to death. I would consider cutting the bloom as soon as possible so the plant doesn't get too weak supporting it.

I cut the bloom as soon as I photographed it after the award.

It wasn't open long so I am hopeful it should be ok leading into summer and it has a new growth coming so fingers crossed.

What a beauty! Hope mine someday gives me a flower - and that it's even halfway as great as this one!

Congratulations on your award! A really beautiful, impressive plant.

Stunning! Mine is just budding as a first-timer as well...mine is also a compact plant like yours...I hope the flower is as nice!

That's really a 10 inch pot, right? Fantastic flower and well desired award!:drool:

Actually it's 2 or 3 inches (yes I know you were kidding).

I can't believe the size of the bloom. The color appeals to me also . Makes me wish I did better with Paphs.
