Paphiopedilum parishii in bloom

[shakkai]

Ah... I see! I knew that Finland had a shorter growing season than we have here - but I'm glad to hear its not that short!

What a great job you're doing to get it to flower consistently. It looks like a really good form as well - the petals are a good colour and longer than I've seen on other plants.

Shakkai, the summer is shorter than yours but not much and we have more light even in nights ...

I have a greenhouse and my plants stay there until nowember, because there is heeting on all the time.
Sometimes there is snow on the ground when i take them to a warmer condition ...

Sorry my bad english ... sure i need some practice ...

Your English is far better than my Finnish - which I tried to learn at one point a few years ago because of some clematis friends. I did very poorly, and now can't remember a single thing!

Do you only have warm growers? That is quite a challenge!

Very, very beautiful, Joule! It looks in prime health. Congratulations. I have a tiny baby parishii that I'm nursing along but I see it has a long way to go!!

Joule;

Congratulations on the blooms. That's a fabulous plant you have. Hopefully I'll have a paph last 5 years let alone bloom like that.

Cheers.
Jim
