[Phragper]

[DrLeslieEe]

Folks, get ready!

Halo is ready for her debut. Today she looks like a star!




Above under LEDs.

Below pics in natural light:



Too bad she’s 2-3 days late for judging. I wanted to see if we could upgrade the award. Wasn’t cooperative.

That is stunning! I love the color!

That is stunning! I love the color!

Halo has very deep colors that saturates the entirety of both petals. It’s quite rare to have that full coverage. Even a solid colored pouch is rare.

I will be getting a Paph vietnamense in a couple of weeks. I would love to have one like yours! The deep color is amazing!

I hope you hit jackpot and flower similar!!

It will be 1 in 300-500 chances.

Still better odds than winning the lottery though lol.

I didn’t take a chance and bought it as a very selected plant.

That is really, really, really pretty

 

[paphlove]

It will be something I will keep my eyes out for!
You certainly have a beauty!

If I say I really love it, would you include it in the curbside pickup too? I promise I will be nice here for a whole week...
