This is one of the most pleasurable posts I have monitored in a long time....but I think this wait may very well give me an aneurism

Wow that is fascinating and beautiful from the very beginning! That spike 'fan' is really unexpected and amazing. I don't have Paphs but after this post I can definitely see the allure! Multiflorals are really stunning...

Thanks for looping us all in!

It's still opening up but I didn't realize how large the blooms are. Mines at 9.5 in (24 cm) at the moment. I was reading that it could get up to 40 cm?? wow. That certainly would be astonishing!

It could still straighten itself out. Or you can gently move the long part of the spike to more vertical. But gently... we don't even want to think about what could happen with a false move...

It's actually incredibly rigid. I fear the worst if I move it too much. Next time, I'd have to guide it on a stake from the beginning.
