I’ve had this vietnamense for about 4 years now (OI select) and it has tried blooming twice before. Each time it blasted and was such a trip for me.
This time it has passed the critical stage and about to open!! Third time lucky?!
Just peeking inside I see dark petals and a very round dark red...
Well, it’s finally here. A true spicerianum from the breeding line of PaphParadise from confirmed spicerianum parents of St. Alban’s lineage. So cute too!
NS 6.5 cm
DS 5 cm width
First flowering since getting them 2 years ago.
