paph. liemianum

[tmoney]

im curious if anyone has had petals that form/grow weird as a result of having directional light on the plant when it is in bud? I think this waving flower is because I turned the plant slightly before opening and the light was coming strongly from one side. but, let us know if you think that could be the cause or if it is just how the flower bloomed.

The petals are oriented towards the light as are other parts of the flower. But of course only at the beginning when the buds open. With Paphs it can take 1-2 weeks until they are "ready".

I experienced the same thing with my P. lowii and installed an extra lamp for testing:
