Received as a very small young plant in 5.5cm pot. Then let it suffer on the windowsill for a few years until I realized that something had to be changed. Created a
Orchid Terrarium and again let it suffer. Did wrong back then everything that can be done wrong.![See-no-evil monkey :see_no_evil: š](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f648.png)
Then a few years of care by someone else and it's a miracle it survived at all. Seems to forgives almost everything. The other 15 Paphs I had did not survive the external care at that time.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Now, its first flowering - after 14 years being a young plant.
I'm so excited.![Hugging face :hugging: š¤](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f917.png)

I find it interesting that the pouch has a strong pink/purple color when viewed against the light.![Thinking face :thinking: š¤](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)
