Yours is gorgeous! The lip on this one with the pink/magenta gradient is stunning.

First bloom on this plant for me. It was one of two from my last order at Orchids.com, the only one that was in good shape. I'm very glad this one made it, the flower is gorgeous and smells really good.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but on one of my blooming yellow phals, I noticed that the older the flower got, there was a purple tinge that showed up and darkened in the middle. In the interest of hope, perhaps the pink shows up after a few days. But even if it doesn't, it's still very beautiful. I also...

Hello from a fellow Oklahoman!

Thank you! I left it on for a couple of days and then chopped it so the plant could start working on other things. It still lasted quite a while in the little pot of water I put it in.

Oh I know. My blooming delenatii is proof of that 🤣 but at least it would have potential

Well now I might have to put this on my list! I really prefer fragrant orchids

I've had some hits and misses with this vendor. Not bought any paphs or phrags from them, just a cattleya, guarechea, and some phals. Most of the plants were ok, not in the greatest shape. None of them died. But I got a "premium" amboinensis last order from them that was definitely not in...

1. Team paph. I don't have any phrags because they look way too large for the space I have, and so far all my paphs are a much more manageable size. I bought a delenatii in spike, and it finally bloomed 2. Neither 🤣 I don't really like the look of the Roths and similar paphs. I prefer the...

That Blue Birds is lovely. I think the one I got recently is spiking, so hopefully I'll get to see a bloom like that in person soon

That's good to know, thanks!

I think it's very nice!

Opened up more now. Might be as good as it gets, but that's ok. I enjoy that nice bright green contrast in the middle. Now if I can just be a good enough plant parent to get the other paphs I've collected to bloom, I'll be happy!

It's beautiful, whatever it is! I bought myself a Samera this year, no blooms yet though, but I hope it will be as lovely as this

Lovely blooms! I'm glad to see your plants doing well in the aircone pots, as that's what I've been putting mine in.

Here's the progress so far, straight on shot and one from below. You can see the weird colorless line on the right petal

Thank you for the clarification 🙂 I spend a lot of time on an international knitting forum, so I have learned that sometimes plain text does not convey intent or sarcasm or humor very well, and I try not to jump to the worst conclusion. So you haven't scared me away at all! I'm hoping it will...

It was just a hope, as I said I did buy this without knowing what it would look like exactly. I like a good "mystery grab bag" every now and then. It's also the only one of that type I've bought so far. The others I've gotten have been the more fluffy pouchy types (and one bulldog type). I...

It's opening faster than I thought now. Enough for me to get a bit of a look at the petals. I have to say I was hoping for dots, but they appear to be dotless. As far as I know this is a first bloom, do you know if there's a possibility for subsequent blooms on paphs to change as much as to...

Thanks! Yes it's very dark. I'm just excited to see what it will actually look like. I could only find pictures of the parents, not the cross.
