Wow congrats. Love the sunroom greenhouse too!

A great flower to enjoy in that conservatory room!

This is probably my favorite Paph species. The flowers are so incredible in appearance and fragrant, too! But the real standout characteristic of this species (in my opinion) is the foliage. It's my favorite of the genus, which is saying a lot considering how many species have fantastic mottled leaves.

The length of the stem has always kept me from trying this one. Nice one, and very nice grow space.

Reaching for the stars!

I can deal with the stem length, fortunately. It's the extended time frame that it takes the flower to develop that is a bit challenging for me. That and the fact that they can sometimes just decide to abort the bloom at almost any stage of development, even right as the bud is starting to open.

It's heading for that skylight the next time it blooms!
