I love that combo as well. I have a mini Paph niveum that has similar coloration and multiple blossoms. A real joy.

Isn't it beeeutiful. . .*sigh*. . .thanks for looking!
I do just love it, Whygreenbeurg! I think it has really lovely coloration. . .can't wait to see it when it blooms.
Ross, I'd love to see a photo of your niveum. . .here. . .to compare to this one when it blooms. I think it's so interesting to see the blooms of the parents and how it is reflected in the hybrid!

Can't wait to see this bloom, Gwen! I'm thinking of getting a Paph. micranthum var. eburneum 'Bubble Gum' x self. These Paphs are starting to grow on me....

Hi Gmdiaz,
Thanks for sharing your paph photos...I'm looking forward to full blooms. 
I just made a big mistake on two of mine, so I'll have to enjoy others' until I get new spikes.  My first two to put up spikes...multifloral at that...and I accidentally broke both off trying to stake them. I was soooo upset.     
At least now I know to never, ever, ever try and stake a paph. spike again. I don't care what direction they're going in. For all I know they may have straightened themselves out anyway.  At least I'm able to learn from my experiences. |

David, I leave my staking quite late - and only if I'm going to take it to a show.
Its really frustrating when something that you're so anticipating breaks! I know how you feel! We have all done that....
