Whew, just got home. The petals did twirl up as many of you predicted. Flowers got a little bigger, too. Ns:28.1 cm, petals 1.2 x 26cm, dorsal width 2.7cm

Jelousy has never been a weak point for me until......

If it makes you feel any better, I tripped, fell into my orchids, and broke one of the buds.
Anyway, here's the finished product.

It doesn't make me feel any better. I never had any doubts or concerns about your bud formation. Turned out to be a really nice one. You should be very proud of CHD. Don't sweat the bud, grown well and you will have plenty more.

Yes, hahahha! oke:
Dude!? That sucks, at least it kept 2 blooms. Be careful, there are enough factors working against us Paph growers.

Looks great! I've never seen this hybrid before, very interesting flower.

Ouch! I knocked my Paph parishii off the windowsill earlier this week. I had repotted it just a few weeks ago, it had already produced four new, thick roots. After it fell, the plant was out off the pot, three of those new roots were broken off and all but three leaves were also broken (it's a two growth plant that had four leaves on each growth). Oh well, at least it gave me an excuse to buy another one...

beautiful. looksl like the plant already has a nice new growth to flower again in another couple years.

Ouch! I hate when that happens, and for some reason, I seem to have my chosen victims since it's always the same Paphs I manage to knock down...

Oh, no, we run on a schedule here. He has exactly 400 days to re-bloom or it's the heap for him! I keep a copy of the schedule and a picture of the trash can next to the growing area just in case they doubt me.

A little perspective, since yammering about dimensions doesn't cut it.

 

[abax]

I love it and I'm not even a multi person. That big, red nose is perfect
for the holidays...or any time actually. CHD has beautiful curled petals
that always attract attention. Goooood job!

Therese, there's got to be some plants with bad juju. I knock the same one off every
time I drag the hose by it. Poor thing.

Welp, I'm getting ready to remove these flowers so the plant can focus on growing. Seems a pity to waste this pollen, though.
