Paph. godefroyae album

I cannot claim full credit for this as I got it in low bud a few weeks ago (the Coryopedilum Chronicles are fun- but I needed some more immediate gratification), but it at least seems to like living here.

First bloom on a plant with a leaf span less than 5 inches, so I am not too worried about the small flower size this go-round. Very excited about it otherwise and look forward to future flowerings.

Nice. I agree with instant gratification over growing from flasks, life can be so short .

Damn now I need to buy a flask of these. Very nice. What are your growing conditions for these?

Thanks everyone! Kiwi- I have only had it a short time, but it is about 10 inches from a set of 4 T-8 lights, humidity averaging 55 degrees and consistent day temps of 75 and 72 at night. In the past I have had very good luck with Brachy seedlings under these conditions.

As for the plant itself- to my surprise the bloom is still growing and also getting very flat (I need to stake it tomorrow). Getting very excited now!
