Lovely P. venustum and if the shape and stance of this flower stays this way and the petals won't reflex....magnificent and absolutely stunning.

Great shape. mine looks like it's been in a storm

 

[Ozpaph]

[paphfreak]

mine looked like that for a day and then did the twist. Still love it though

Echoing what GuRu had to say. How long has it been open?

It has been 3 days full open.

it has been 3 days full open. In a few days I will send another picture to see if the petals twist it.

 

[Paphluvr]

Hope it stays like that for you. As you know, most of these reflex the petals to some degree.

Well, I have some new pictures today to compare, and seems the petal don’t twist too much. Maybe in a few days more, but I pollinated yesterday with a bellatulum polen and I don’t know how it will evolt

Petals are holding well.

The petal tips and pouch look more orange now. The carotene color overtook the anthocyanin red.

You are right Leslie, it looks like more orange.
