Paphiopedilum Fanaticum

[Djthomp28]

This is a treat to see in bloom. I love the large, bubble like pouches/bowls these care. The flower is large, 10.2cm wide, for the size of the plant.

Very nice Fanaticum. I have one that I have been waiting on to bloom. It is multi growth and plenty big enough, just not ready yet.

I too love fanaticum. Nice! I had 2 first time bloomers this year. I'm currently trying to keep the water out of the low sheath on another one. Mine were all of Sam's alba breeding and are blooming on a single growth. However, none of the these will bloom out albas in this generation.

Good grief that's gorgeous!

This is an excellent P. Fanaticum ... all perfect, flower shape, colouration, contrast in the colurs.... well done, Darlene.

Great blooom and photos

I love the veining in the dorsal and petals with the texture of the leaves, which look very happy. Stunning plant.

Thanks all.

This is a stunner in-person. I have another clone that I am waiting to see bloom. There is more variability in Fanaticum than I realized.

@Bob in Albany N.Y. I would love to see yours. Are they posted on the forum?

Nice. Is it fragrant?

Jealousy is the highest form of compliments....so I must tell you I am jealous that you have so many stunning Paphs..., and on top of that, you are one of the best growers on this forum. There, I said it!
