Paph Lady Isabel - the long wait

[Ozpaph]

Little did I know when I purchased this single growth plant a few years ago that it was probably deflasked in the 1980s. So that makes this, still, single growth plant at least 30 years old. As the label shows its originally from the Eric Young Foundation. Their stock number was 8890 - if anyone has more info I would appreciate it. Its a roth 'Mont Millais' cross. I wonder how long until it flowers again........

Steven,
It reminds me of an old Ken Smart tag.

Love the tessellation on the pouch. Congrats!

Nice. Now that is slow. Has it grown well since you have had it? Given it has no new lead, I expect you are looking at least 4 years for it to flower again.

Hi Royal. It came from Royale Orchids - Kevin Hipkins. Purchased in 2013.

Probably not much bigger. No new growth after 5 years at my place. Bottom leaves starting to yellow................

Are its roots doing well....maybe you should check them up? Beside of that....the flower looks nice.

A very nice one congrats

Pretty lady...not a good sign being only one growth with the bottom leaves yellowing. Hope it’s okay.

A living piece of history. Thanks for sharing. Good luck.

Have you tried growing it in a net basket rather than a pot? I have both parents and the hybrid in nets and all are doing well. I had to move two stonei after a couple of months I got from Popow because of this..
