Paph. lowii

[SlipperFan]

This is from Fox Valley. First time it's bloomed -- I almost lost it as a seedling, but it has come back as a strong plant.

Very nice petal shape! Nearly horizontal.

Very nice. Yes, those petals are very horizontal. It looks like he is stretching his petals as hard as he can.

Nice save Dot. How long did it take you to bring it back? Sometimes it can be years and years!

Nice save Dot. How long did it take you to bring it back? Sometimes it can be years and years!

I think I bought it 3 years ago, and it got the rot within the first year. So about two years of "coming back."
