Paphiopedilum Magic Lantern

[Djthomp28]

I would love to find a compot of Magic Lantern. This is such a lovely primary.

After my first ML croaked, I acquired two from Orchid Inn. This is the first one to bloom, after years of growing.

I love the color, but miss the shape of my old clone.

Is this the cross that was made with delenatii fma vini (dunkle) 'Purple' and micranthum 'Red Dragon'. If so mine just bloomed for the first time a few days ago. Mine got the dark color but the dorsal isn't colored as much as the rest of the flower.

Very good color...please let us know how long the flower will last. My memory tells me the flower isn't long-lasting, only 2 weeks or so.
