Paph. lowii

[eggshells]

Another Paph lowii. Four buds on first bloom seedling. Hard to believe that I got it as a single growth (25cm) plant last spring (Maybe I just got used to the coryopedilum growth rate???). Another one from Mr. Bear. I think its an okay lowii. Still prefer a clone with a good flower count.

Now that is a beauty! Look like gliding albatross, with that wide wing span. How big are they? (the blooms not albatross )

Lol, I was running to get measurements and I tripped.. Anyway, I measured and its 15cm natural span.

It's a good one. You'll get more flowers as the plant matures.

Thanks for taking the trouble to measure. That is a very acceptable span. I guess you didn't glide too well?

Omg that is really nice! Look at those amethyst petal tips! Im sure it will produce more flowers next time it blooms.

I have a do-nothing lowii. This blooming would thrill me to death!

Be careful...us swans tend to trip over stuff.

Very nice flowering. Was it newly repotted?

Yes, I repotted it in December 2013 while it was in low bud.
