Two Paph photos

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Well we are currently on vacation at Myrtle Beach, S.C. I usually bring a few plants along to enjoy here at the condo. This time I brought along mostly brachys that are in bud. I also brought along the below Paph. Magic Lantern "Kima" HCC/AOS. When I purchased this division back in Feb of 2003 I was told that there were only 3 division of this plant at that time. Myself owning the third division. I had it growing in S/H all those years and it didn't do well. Now that I'm back growing in bark it blessed me with a beautiful flower. Before you all ask, that is the true color of the flower.

The next photo is a nice large brachy that was already opening when I left home last Saturday. All I have here is a regular ruler. The flower has a natural spread of 3 inches. This is blooming on a single growth with a leaf span of 8 inches.

Both are lovely Bob. I can't wait to see who's first to ask if that's the actual color! Nice area BTW, my mom's got a place down around Murrells Inlet.

Yes, it is a nice area. We are actually at Surfside Beach. We have been coming here for years.

Beautiful Magic Lantern! Nice and dark! What did it do when it was in S/h? Did it at least put out new growths?
