This is a reliable one, flowering every year at this time. The flower looks like this for a couple days, but then the petals get a bit droopy. If kept out of the rain it lasts a couple weeks.

Nice pouch with an interesting dorsal! Does it have the strikes in the dorsal every blooming?

I don't remember - I'll have to check past year's photos. Without a doubt, the easiest parvi paph to flower for me. Eric, in the rain because I grow my stuff outside more more than half the year.

Man, I can't imagine the bug infestations I'd have if I put my plants outside!

Here it is today. As you can see the petals have elegantly folded. Eventually they get more droopy and eventually positively tired looking just before finishing.

Excellent photo, Tom.
