I felt my first multiflora Paph deserved a thread of its own. This was one of those expensive "will flower reasonably soon"-Paphs, that I got... Was it one or two years ago? Can't remember now, and I can't bother to check either. 
Anyway, it had no roots, but it has been growing rather well since I got it. It now has one mature growth, one half grown, and one little upstart.
I took pictures of it today, despite the fact that it hasn't opened all three flowers yet. I don't know if we'll get any more sunlight within the next few months (yes, it has been that bad), so better safe than sorry.
Super, expert, photographer Mutant manages to cut off the petals. Go me! Love that boldly marked dorsal:
Managed to get all of those pesky petals in the picture this time (they're 15" or 38-39cm on the fully opened flower and I think they won't get any longer):
EDIT:
Updated pictures.
Those petals... I'm so happy they've twisted as much as they have, and the petals on the first flower are now 47-48 cm (around 18.5"). Now I think they're really done growing:
