First time I have flowered it with multiple spikes. Each spike has five flowers.

Amazing display! I love phillipinense, that is a nice one. Good flower count too. How long have you had it? And what size pot is it in? Just to see how compact it is. I like seeing all the various sizes of this species. I have quite a few that are collected and they are pretty small. Then I have a line bred one that is huge.

Extraordinary flowering!

What else can one say about that one, other than beautiful. I'm no multiflower guy but that one could find a spot in my greenhouse even if I had to get rid of ten of my paphs. Great growing and great plant!

WOW! As everyone has been saying, awesome growing and blooming!

I first flowered it in Dec 2008 and I got it about 2 years before that. So I have had it about 6 years. I bought it as a 3 growth division (2 old flowered growths and one unflowered growth). The original plant was imported into Australia from the US. The growths on mine are about 42 cm (16-17 inches). This is nowhere near as big as the flowered growths of the plant I received which were closer to a metre across. I haven't been able to get close to those sizes although they are slowly getting bigger. Five flowers a spike seems to be standard for me although the original owner was getting 7-8 flowers a spike on his larger growths. Maybe one day. This is still easily the biggest philippinense I own though.

The pot is 20cm wide.

What is the parentage of your line bred plant Cheyenne?

I have one 'Bates'X'Too Goo Doo' which is a very large plant. Maybe 24" LS and typically has 7+ flowers per spike.

I believe this is a Carter and Holmes based plant.

About 17cm Rick.

David, That is totally outstanding and deserves some kind of award. Are producing these with 16C? I can't believe I'm still having to run the heater at night in late December! You too?
