Paphiopedilum lowii - first bloom (after 14 years)

[Ricardo Boricua]

Excellent. Lovely flowers. I think I will adopt one.

Thanks. In this case, the color of the first flowers pouch remains pink-brown and no longer changes. The second and third are as brown as I know from typical lowii pictures on the internet. At first I thought this was an atypical clone and was a bit sad that I had caught such a monster. I thought the flowers would all look similar on multiflorals (my first one that I own and see blooming).

BTW, I got the plant from @Hilmar (Asendorfer Orchideenzucht) 14 years ago as a seedling. He seems also registered here.

I met up with Hilmar with Guru and Martin at the Dresden show! Nice guy!
