Paph esquirolei fma viride

[DirGo]

Another albino flowering for the first time: esquirolei fma viride. I am very happy with the result.
Important "note to self": never turn a plant towards the light while the flower is opening ! Flower is nice symetrical, but it does not look like this anymore after picking it up and putting it back down with a minor rotation against the light source.

Slightly pink in the petals?

Luckily No, I think it must have been some reflection... it is pure white

Another beautiful albino in your collection, Dirk. Very pretty.

Quite a pale pouch. Some are much greener

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Not a bad first hiccup bloom. I’m sure next year will be bigger and badass.

I usually bloom the buds away from the light as dorsal seems to grow towards the light, making for a flatter upward dorsal. Anyone try this?

Happy to get it into flowering again after suffering from rot.
(much survival credits to the dragonsblood and cinnamon )
