Paph stonei

[emydura]

I got home from a couple of months holiday to find my stonei in flower for the first time. It wasn't even in bud when I left, so it was unexpected. This plant is from Taiwanese origin. Very slow growing to say the least. I obtained the plant 11 years ago as a good size seedling. It did have to go through quarantine which meant it was fumigated. Apparently the stonei's did not like it and it has taken a long time to get this plant back up to strength. It does seem to be growing better now and the new growth seems more vigorous.

Very nice. One of my favorite multi-florals.

What a beauty and congratulations! Love its wildy look. Long may it reign!
