Paphiopedilum charlesworthii var. sandowiae (album)

I got this multigrowth plant from Eggshells and it finally threw a single bloom after 1.5 years. A very reluctant bloomer for Eggshells that he finally gave up and sold to me.

Just opening. Hope it flattens out.

One of my faves too… I bought a few charliebum divisions from Hillsview Orchids and Orchid Inn few years back and they have been blooming nicely too.

Nice. He probably would have kept it if it wasn't for the new addition to his family.

Even with the little aberration at the utmost top of the dorsal, you really have to be an orchid judge, not to be completely smitten with this wonderfull flower. Nice in all respects - flowersize is as always difficult to gauge, so could you be persuaded give an indication of it's measures (NS would suffice)?

I measured the flower today and boy has it grown. It’s 9 cm now with a dorsal almost 6.5 cm. Dorsal looks huge in comparison to initial pics lol. Also pretty flat.
