Paph. DolceVitta

[Bmorepaph]

Hey guys. The bud on my Paph DolceVitta (Liemianum x St. Swithin) just opened and unfortunately has a dent on the bottom portion of the pouch.The previous flowers have been fine. Any ideas of what could have caused this so I can prevent it from happening in the future? It is rather unsightly!

There is nothing you can do except continue culture with adequate watering. This sort of thing happens at times for no good reason.

Thanks. The bud is just about fully opened now. The dent seems to have improved a little. Hopefully when the next bud matures and opens I will not have a reacurrence of this problem
