Paph Warden x Susan Booth....7 years to bloom !

[Gilda]

Patience is a virtue they say....it was worth the wait. The bloom is HUGE next to a "regular" paph for comparison.

Beautiful color! But 7 years -- you have patience!

Great colors but 7 years, you would think the cross would of been named by now. Congratulations on blooming it. these types of crosses can be tough

 

[Erythrone]

Wow!!!!! A beauty!!

Nice pop!

My Phrag. Allison Strohm is itching to bloom right now, after seven years.
I'm losing my patience...

 

[Ozpaph]

pretty good result from the cross - as you would hope for.
Will be interesting on a big plant.

Well done! Patience is a great secret for blooming some Paphs.

Good lord you've been blessed with an impressive amount of patience. And that's a nice paph, as well.

That is real nice. Like the colour. Seven years isn't too bad. Did it take a long time because it is a slow grower or that it needed to form a large clump or that it is just difficult to flower?

I think it needed more than a single growth and it is a slow grower.....my hubby said it looked like I was growing a cabbage plant .
I also changed it's location...I brought it into my sunroom which gets a lower winter temp drop. That might have been the secret......
