Paphiopedilum Lady Isabel 'Grouville' SM/DOG

Hi

I borught this plant from Ratcliffe Orchids last year when I was down at the nursery, It's from the EYOF breeding lines. Its a lovely flower a three blooms not expecting two amy flowers as they came to me in the autumn, so still only just settleing in. I grow this in chunky bark again, its got some new growths coming. The stem is quite short hopefully that will improve over time.

I'd like to see it on a larger plant; closer to SM/DOG potential

Interesting LI.

About Ratcliffe, I received several plants last year ans I was very dissapointed about quality... Small, not well rooted, yellow leaves (like your plant if I see well). Not a good experience for me.
