Lovely, it's been in your tag for so long I wonder how long you've been waiting. BTW, is there any fragrance?

 

[Greenpaph]

Super Uri! Try to get a photo when the others open! Especially with the lip showing!

I would really like to know your culture. I killed mine!

:drool:

wow! dat's so beautiful... i like the purity of the white colour... i have one, going to mature a new growth in a few weeks time... how big does this have to be to bloom, Uri? i heard that it can grow bulbs the size of footballs..!! hehe... ;P

Thanks guys,

-- Well it smells kind of sweet, the psb's are like tennis balls -- had it since 2000 - first time flowering for me -- the spike has been on its way for three months or so -- I also think that the flower count is quite low -- lets see next year lol


-- will post more pics when the other flowers opens

That is gorgeous. How big is the plant?

Very nice. I now have 2 plants as I had to divide mine. The bulbs weren't maturing properly. Where does the spike appear from?? Is it with the growth like a zygo??? I've been wating a long time for mine to flower and it hasn't yet.

I like it, let me say that again I LIKE it.

 

[Greenpaph]

Wow! That is truly one the most beautiful of the non-paph orchids!

thanks

 

[paphjoint]

Yeah the spike appears simultaneously with the new growth

I always like plants that appear to have something hidden like doves inside. Maybe I should start putting plants I want to bloomin my tag!

Thanks Uri, should the pot be standing in water or just kept well watered.

 

[paphjoint]

I keep it well watered a bit less once the new growth has matured
