Bought two of these last winter. Repotted this past spring when I moved them outside and this one sported a bud. I have been concerned with the 90’ temps, storms and windy conditions and the spike just keeps on growing!

not yet!
The spike of this Harold is quite tenacious, very much like his namesake!
The relative size of these flowers in relation to the plant is something. Perhaps it will still flatten out more.
I love the picture of corn in the background.
Where are the paphs in the winter?

Very nice! I second Linus on liking the corn field in the background.
I used to keep my Paphs outside during the hot, wet Kentucky summer. Did them good—won my first AM from a Paph that flowered while outside.

looks nice a nice 'fat' flower. Can you photograph it face on?
In years past I have always moved them back in the house, under lights and in front of windows.
Sure...
More pics coming.
Here’s some “Face on” pics...
very nice, full shape - well done!
super fat dorsal. What are the parents/origin?
If you ever need a clonal name for this one, may I propose: 'L'embonpoint'

Very nice.
I wonder if you could take a pic with the flower facing the sun as the recent photos were backlit and doesn’t show true color. A close up of flower as well as full plant (with spike) will be cool to appreciate much more.
