It Finally Bloomed!! after 4 years!! :( :( :(

[Kavanaru]

Guess what it is...

supposed to be an easy to bloom one, but it has been (for me!) the most reluctant Paph I have...

dang............

I think this plant took very seriously that story of "micranthum" with mini micro flowers...

I think it will stay one more year in the greenhouse to see if any improvement if detected (only personal curiosity, as I do not expect much changes)... but only because I still have enough free space there...

That's what my del. Dunkle looks like after a 6 year wait for it to bloom. I blame it on an overly hot summer, not my culture . Live and learn, learn through growing. Better luck next time for both of us!

wait for 2nd bllom will develop,maybe normal

 

[SlipperKing]

I'm with Valenzino. Looks like a second one coming

 

[toddybear]

Not so 'magical'! I have several orchids that are over 4 years old and have never bloomed. Hope MY wait is worth it!

 

[SlipperFan]

Well, the color is really beautiful. Maybe next time it will behave itself.

This is just so bad. It's gotta be a random occurrance. Rebloom it next year and if it's the same, toss it into the compost heap!

 

[baodai]

Plants have feeling too, please dont so cruel, simple toss it into forest somewhwre
Thanks,

I've never found Magic Lantern to be that easy.

I am curious if the bud was normal as it developed.
