Paph Cupid's Arrow (Wend Valley 'Valentine' x Jenna Marie "Sparkle' HCC/AOS) [HC1810] is a new purchase from Hadley Cash at Marriott Orchids, Kernersville, NC. The complex paph bug has bitten !

The ns is 4.4 inches, 11 cm.

After almost two years was able to rebloom this plant.

Was real happy that the plant decided to send new growths in two directions back in 2011. So we now have the original pb growth, 2 blooming growths and 2 more new growths.

The flowers have the same deep red colors but I don't think I was able to get any improvement of shape / form. The flower on the left especially seemed a little 'twisted'. Took a while for me to realize that the petals / sepals did not overlap properly, as seen from the photo of the back of the flower :confused:

The split ventral will probably correct next time.
