cute!

Is the flower as small as it seems? Never bloomed one myself.....

 

[Hamlet]

Nice. I see my seedlings have a long way to go to blooming size...

Probably not, they bloom on Giant size plants. That's why the hybrids like Druid Spring give you a little more bang for the plant buck!

 

[Secundino]

Yeah, druryi!

Nice...is it really extinct in the wild?

 

[Markhamite]

Very nice flower! How do you get yours to bloom? I have a 4 growth plant that just sits there.

 

[Ozpaph]

I like that!

 

[troy]

[JAB]

One of the best!

They vary quite a bit. Sometimes they're small and sometimes they are big.

I think its is dependent of the clone. This one has always been a reliable bloomer. This came from John M and bloomed for him reliably as well. Some of my clones are recalcitrant bloomer as well.

I am not sure. There could still be some undiscovered population.

Arkive.org has a video of it in-situ

I am showing your excellent flower photo to my druryi which just sits there with 6 plus healthy growths and never blooms! I am going to try a some colder temps this Fall and see if that triggers a spike.

 

[SlipperFan]

That's an excellent one.

Lovely. Nice looking plant too.

The flower on mine is pretty small.

Best color I've seen on this particular Paph. I like it much
better than Druid Spring. Size doesn't make the flower.
