[Ozpaph]

very pretty

 

[The Mutant]

Sweet.

I think mine might be considering flowering for the first time... Not certain yet though, but there's a rather suspicious looking swelling on the stem.

 

[emydura]

Lovely Jean. Nice bokeh as well.

 

[biothanasis]

Wonderful flower and picture!!!

 

[eggshells]

Real nice sukhakulii.

 

[Trithor]

Attractive photo of a lovely bloom. I have given up trying to grow and flower these. There is something in my culture which I am missing. Jean, how do you treat it in comparison to a Maudiae type hybrid?

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice Jean! Well balanced spotting on both petals.

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

I quite like the colouring on this. I actually prefer it to the normal colour.

 

[SlipperFan]

Very pretty, flower and photo.

 

[abax]

I love suks. and this photo is very well done.

 

[Stone]

[theshatterings]

Nice suk and bokeh!

Thanks all!!!!

Gary, I don't have many 'Maudiae' type plants; still have/but killed a few callosums, and lawrenceanas!

The plant is still in its original media/ in a plastic pot, where I got it in from Koos Wubben last year, spiking! It spent the time in the shade of large Phrags, together with a wardii, that is also spiking! So, for me, this is another plant where I see that I have to, but am afraid of repotting it ....!

Mike, I have some niveums but not really a large one (unfortunately), and those are positioned in a warmer place in my gh!!!! Jean

 

[orchideya]

Lovely bloom with all the freckles

 

[paphioboy]

Nice and uniquely pastel coloured suk...

 

[Rick]

One of my favorites Jean.:clap::clap:

I can't get enough of this species.

 

[atlantis]

Nice and uniquely pastel coloured suk...

Agreed.

I specially like the shape of the pouch on this one.

This is a nice suki Jean
