Paph laevigatum 'Don Ghiz'

[SlipperKing]

A plant from Don, so I named it after him.

 

[Spaph]

Nice double spike!

Poor Don. Isn't that the way it always goes? It's like when a major league team trades a losing pitcher who goes on the next season with a new team to win the Cy Young award. You can have a plant on your bench for 10 years that never flowers and as soon as you give someone a division they're back in six months with something as nice as this.

 

[SlipperKing]

I agree Scott but it could be as simple as Don being a Catt man.....poor Don:sob:

 

[SlipperFan]

Poor Don. You just have the magic touch, Rick!

 

[abax]

I sense a na na na na naaanaaa in there somewhere SK. Love that yellow
pouch...nice touch.

The photos are a little confusing. What size pot is that?

 

[SlipperKing]

Its in a 3 inch aircone. What is mess'in with your head Eric? The first was taken with out much light. The second I had to use the flash.

 

[NYEric]

I thought it was a small pot because it's balanced on another pot. I didn't realize that the blooms are that small. thanks for the info. I could like a multi like that!

You should have gotten one from Glenn Decker/Piping Rock at last year's PF. I got one. Na nananana!

Nice compact plant. Poor Don. I wouldn't have thought this species would be that tricky to flower.

Great job Rick!

I don't think Don was giving the plant the correct light intensity. Its not easy to see but in the first picture the last two or so leaves are shorter then the rest of the fans just before the bloom leaf came up. I'm betting on the new fans for next blooming will be half the size or smaller then these current fans.

He clearly puts more energy into his Cattleyas then his slippers.

Nicely grown Rick!

It is funny as I would have thought phillipinense and Catteya's would have had similar light requirements.

 

[SlipperKing]

That's right David. With too many Cats they get the premo light and other stuff gets push to the shadows.

Hello Eric, this is the dark side calling again...

@Rick, nice plant!

 

[NYEric]

I have lots of multis. The reason i'm not more into them is that I have some that have not bloomed in 10+ years!
