First bloom. I got this cutie as a baby from Ernie about 2 years ago. I think I detected slight fragrance this morning.

Beautiful! It is very lovely! Hope my plants will bloom out as nice! What is leafspan and flower size?

Pretty nice! Nice pic of the bud opening behind the flower too! The contrast is stunning!!!

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice Susan. One of the better shaped ones too.

 

[Wendy]

Lovely....I have a new interest in these since I now have one. (Thanks Paphman 910!)

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Hmm, I'm going to find one of these this year just for the plant alone.

A definite keeper.

Very lovely bloom, and great looking foliage!

Nice pouch and you might get a larger flower next time. Looks very healthy.

 

[SlipperFan]

Very lovely bloom, and great looking foliage!

I agree!

 

[luvsorchids]

Thank you all for the kind words. Yes, these are worth growing for the foliage alone, and yes, this plant has been quite healthy and rather vigorous based on what others have said.

What is leafspan and flower size?

Total plant span is about 21 cm. Natural spread of the flower is about 6.5 cm.
