Paphiopedilum helenae

[Jaljala]

Bought as a single growth in 2009… it has come a long way!
Until this year I rarely got more than 2 flowers at a time.

Very well grown! Good job.

Gorgeous! An incredible clump, congrats on the amazing culture!

I got 4 flowers on mine this year, which was down a bit from years prior. I don't recall having ever seen my plant produce this many blooms and buds at once. You must be doing something right.

This is such an amazingly adorable species and yours is a pretty colorful example! Is this awarded or have you ever considered taking it in for judging?

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Definitely worth a culture award! Bring it if you have time.

Very well done!!

WOW .... what a great bunch of excellent flowers on this healthy and well grown plant. Congrats and kudos to your culture.
As to the cache pot, do you grow it on the windowsill or is it just there in the photo for optical reasons ?

No awards. I never have time to go judging unfortunately (they are very few judgings where I live anyway).

Just for display on my table. It grows in a greenhouse from April to October, then indoors under lights.
