Paph. Prince Edward of York ( Finally !!! )

[ncart]

I've had this plant for 5 years. Upon recovering from the very tough time, it finally bloomed. It is the first bloom.

Very nice! I don't normally care for these, but yours has a nicer shape and is redder than most; missing that nasty muddy yellow, ocher-ish coloring I don't like.

Good job!

Congrats Naoki! I've always loved the petals on these.

Very nice! And the plant looks well cared for.

Thank you all. It took forever to open since I saw the pelals coming out of the bud.

Congrats Naoki! I've always loved the petals on these.

I am hoping they will get 'curled' a bit.

That sure looks good, long wait but good job.... Jim.

Well done. Nice colour on that one. The dorsal is a bit of a mess but hopefully that will be right next flowering. It looks a pretty small growth for a PEOY.

I am hoping they will get 'curled' a bit.

And the petals will probably grow longer, as well. Pretty!

Thank you all. It took forever to open since I saw the pelals coming out of the bud.

:rollhappy: It just seems forever! BUT WORTH THE WAIT! :clap::clap:

Beautiful. i also prefer the white shades in multiflorals, over the yellow tones

Blooming a PEOY is always a call for a celebration. Yours has very dark colors. Good potential.

I really like the dark colors over the white, very striking. Nicely done Naoki.
