Paph. concolor, 3 spikes, at least 2 bi-floral

[Paphluvr]

This is one of the first plants I purchased when I started growing orchids about 50 yrs. ago. The tag says the varietal name is ‘gigas’ but I don’t believe that is a recognized varietal name. This is one of the largest divisions that I still have. If you look closely you can see three more buds behind the open flower. The third spike is behind the flower and not developed enough to tell if it will also be bi-floral.

If you want to see what it looked like before I broke it up, search Paph. concolor and go back to Aug. 17, 2015.

Wow! 50 years of joy from this one, congrats! The oldest Paph I still have with me is my St.Swithin, about 22 years...

Love it! The division you gave me did great for many years, with lovely cream yellow flowers.

But after some ups and downs, it is down to one growth that may not make it. If you ever divide yours again please keep me in mind

Looks like chlorophyllum, I love those, they multi flower alot on big plants

This lovely plant was one of my first orchids. It gave me the bug!
Unfortunately, I only kept it alive about 3 years.
