A beautiful flower. What do your min temps get down to in Honolulu?

We’ve had a cool spring (for Hawaii), particularly our overnight temps. I would say low 60s F. That is combined with humidity running 60-70% and higher. We have also had decent trade winds, but this particular Paph is pretty sheltered from rain and high winds. It’s just starting to warm up a bit.

Great flower. Very short spike though.

Still .... So so jealous lol. Still waiting for mine to bloom, even sticking them to 50F/10C nights.

Hi Rick, Thanks! I’m pretty sure it’s just old NZ sphagnum moss with moss growing on it in a 4 inch clay pot. I might have tossed a white river rock in the middle. Like many of my plants, it was due for repotting - but then I noticed it was spiking. I have 2 other armeniacum that I moved to a different potting style/media relatively recently. They are doing great, but no flowers.

Oh I killed mine pretty quickly. Totally jealous! Super well grown!!!

Beautiful, and such a cheerful, spring color. I’m beginning to get jealous of how well everything seems to grow in Hawaii, parvis, multifloral paphs, phrags, cattleyas...the list goes on. Nice growing!

That's marvelous!
Just showed it to my armeniacum as an example... may be it helps...
