Hakone, it's sooo easy.................you have to wait until the plant blooms. Can't say more.

The leaves of kolopakingii are 40-60cm long, from 40 cm long leaves, the plants can bloom. I've seen in a nursery that the leaves are more 50 cm, but the plants are not blooming. It is likely due to cultural Errors.

Those leaves are beautiful all by themselves! Looks like a healthy, happy plant. Can't wait to see it bloom.

Funny you ask.... How about this for size comparison? First bloom at Zephyrus Orchids today:

Did it follow you home?

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Hehe no, I have one at home already... almost this size.

This one blooms at one growth with a thick unstaked spike of 8 flowers. Impressive.

Hakone, Leslie Ee has already given you a good photographic answer but perhaps I could add something. I attended the WOC in Vancouver, Canada in 1998. The best of show was awarded to a Paph. kolopakingii that was a magnificent specimen bearing several tall, majestic racemes with large flowers. The leaf span of this plant was approximately 180 cm. This is the size of a well-grown kolopakingii at maturity.

Here’s a photo of my kolopakingii album:



It’s about 80 cm wide with 14 cm broad leaves. Hopefully will decide to bloom next year. She’s surrounded by the supardii, roths, lowii albums and tigrinums. The support team!
