Were are the up dated pics?
Paph. philippinense has completely opened a four flower stem.
Unfortunately the twist of the petals is not what I hoped for.
Some of the staminodes turned brown (last foto). Might that be caused by spraying which I did for humidity during flower developpement?

Finally! Well done.
The burnt stami is not easley explained. Just misting with water probably wouldn't cause it.
Maybe a fungal or bacterial issue incouraged by mist. Only one stami?

i think it would look better staked

Fantastic!
Rick, it were two of four staminodes burnt, now a third is starting.
Oz maybe you are right but l like to let them grow as they like, further a upright inflorescence would not fit in my orchid shelves. One stem of my St. Swithin I even had to put a weight on to force it a little more downwards, otherwise I would have had to move the whole plant during flower developpement.

you can move them early to give the spike room. Just dont move/re-orient the plant when the buds are well formed.
Nice P. philli......even if not staked.
