Paph. praestans

[hardy]

Hello, it's been a long while since I last posted. I'm kicking and well, but my orchid collection is in shambles.. If only I have the courage to post their current state in pictures.. Hm, maybe with some encouragement I might snap a photo or two. Anyways, this morning while tending to my work-related plants I saw this beauty blooming for the first time after 6 years of growing as a division. Just had to take some pictures to share here, hope you guys approve

That's has beautiful subtle colors and quite the pouch. Also not one you see very often. Glad you had this one to cheer you up and hope you can get your collection under control. Good luck with everything.

It would help to pot up with your potting mix, your pot looks half full. nice blooming!! These paphs grow nearby in the forest?

This is the kind of multi I need. Small plant!

The color is more subtle and colorful than what I've seen of this species.
Lovely crazy twisty petals are cool too!

Welcome back! Beautiful praestans.. I hope most of your specimen-sized praestans and cochlopetalums are still doing well..
