From OZ purchased at this year's Paph Forum (via Paph Paradise).
Decent size; wish color was better. Maybe it will improve with future flowering? (Sorry, crappy iphone pic)

Nice.

Just a thought, but color is so much better when the buds develop under cooler conditions. Don't know what it has been like at your place, but until just recently, it has been very warm here for the last few months. Perhaps next year, with a normal winter, the color will be improved. I am assuming that outside temperatures have some influence on the temperature in your growing area. Mike

The form looks good and as Dot noted, cooler temps could make a big difference next year.

I got the plant in bud, so most of the development was in CA (OZ), then the flight over to DC. Maybe if it blooms in the winter again, the color may be better since we keep the heat at home at 65 F.
