Paphiopedilum haynaldianum

[delphiguy]

Just got this last saturday in bud. we really thought that we are going to lose
the flowers as we left it in the car while we visit our doctor and the parking lot
was scorching hot.

a few questions tho, how long does the flower last? and how to care for this.

anyways there's some damage on bloom, but we still love it. here they are
hope you'll enjoy the photos.

It's interesting how the dorsal stands straight up!

very nice one !!! My plant was flowering last year for 2 month, all in all: opening of 1st bloom until fading of the 4th flower (in Luxbg., Europe!) Jean

:clap: That's one long tall dorsal! :clap:
How long will it last? Sunlight, heat & low humidity can certainly shorten it!

we are getting more. I have already made reservations for a liemianum and a
glaucophylum.

this is potted in a mix of gravel and chc. once it finished blooming i'll repot it
with my mix of hydroton/charcoal/perlite/diatomite.
