So the first of the purpuratas has just opened. Most of the others are nowhere near producing buds. It’s the first time I’ve bloomed this clone and I am not convinced that this is a good flowering. It was recently repotted. It’s a division from Asendorfer.
When this species decides to flower, it really motors. The buds jump out of the sheath and open in double quick time. No hanging around for months on end like some paphs!
Last photo shows the scene in the front room.
