My 3rd to bloom this year. A division from Orchid Inn.

Day 3 only so may expand over the week.

Trying a new phone Samsung ZFold2.

What can I say, but swooningly beautifull!

Thanks Jens. I think the camera on this phone seems clearer?

 

[Ozpaph]

a beauty.
lots of 'sharpening' applied by the iphone.

You mean the Samsung pics here are more realistic than my previous posts on iPhone XS?

 

[Ozpaph]

I used the term 'iphone' generically for a camera phone.

Beautiful flowers
Excellent quality pics
Very clear

Here's today's pics, with the dorsal more expanded. Also included a macro of the yellow hairs in the center (kinda cool I think).

Leslie, the whole flower is 'kinda cool' no only the yellow hairs in the center. Lovely and congrats. 👌 Furthermore the camera in your new cell phone works excellently.

Thanks Rudolf. I'm liking my new toy lol.

This year’s bloom is slightly larger than last year at NS 8.5 cm and DS 6.2 cm.

Not all albas but I love the alba form of charlesworthii...Very nice, Leslie. How much light for this one(for Paph. standard/by fc)?

 

[CharlesD]

Lovely blooming this time around. Looks ready to be divided! 😇

I've got one with 20 growths in a 4 inch pot. It doesn't seem to want to bloom. Any suggestions?

Hey Jim
Try cool nights around 15C for a few weeks.

The color is so intense it looks like it’s glowing

I just noticed a new sheath on mine this afternoon...exciting! but I am not going to post a photo of it to jinx myself🤣
Cooling it off for a couple of weeks might have done the trick for mine too...The weather here has been pretty cool at night outside( mid--upper 40s to low 50s) for the last 2-3 weeks before I moved it inside.
Again, what is the light level, Leslie? I got my plant back in June and I am still not sure about its appropriate light level.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Medium to low light produces longer leaves. High light stunts the plants in my experience.

Fingers crossed for that bud!
