It looks almost exactly like the photos on the listing page. Turned out really nice. I like that a lot. I mini-vini "Maudiae-type" Paph is something I didn't know I needed but now that I know I may go on the hunt.

That is fantastic. Love the white halo on the dorsal.
the vini drowns the helenae - maybe the 'halo'. Hope it stays small
Cute! I have one in bud!

I don’t think I agree. I think it is more then cute! Sure, the vinicolor dominates in terms of color but quite a few vinis get to be so darn tall. The P. helenae certainly reduces the spike length and leads to very diminutive sized plants. Perhaps the P. helenae parent has kind of homogenized the color and rounded the dorsal? Of that I am in no way sure. My only complaint or disappointing part is the very narrow petals.
here's ruuby charm in semi-natural lightning. it's super goth. i love it!
Looks like a miniaturized version of an antique Paph.
Cute!
