Paph. Iantha Stage for 2016

[Paphluvr]

This year it rewarded me with two buds although the spike seems a bit short. I was hoping for more than one spike as the plant has obtained a good size. NS of the flower is a bit over 19cm.

Yes. I think it was first made in 1973 by Ray Rands.

 

[SlipperKing]

Very nice one. Does it bloom every year?

 

[Justin]

Nice...having a blooming one is already an achievement

Very nice one. Does it bloom every year?

This is only the second time it's bloomed, but since it bloomed last year as well I guess the answer is "yes".

 

[SlipperFan]

That's a nice one. I haven't seen one in a long time.

I wish I could tell you. I'm an indoor grower so conditions are sub-optimal. This particular plant is grown on a bakers rack located by my door wall which faces southwest. I have to draw a sheer curtain across the glass from about 2:00-5:30
PM. to prevent direct sun from hitting the plants. As I write this the AC just kicked on so I know the humidity is going to be low. It does receive regular fertilization with a variety of fertilizers and I use primarily RO water. There's a small fan attached to the end of the rack to keep air moving. I do tend to keep it on the drier side.

Thanks, useful infos for a windowsill grower.

Added photo with both flowers opened

Two flowers show better than one and a bud.
