Can someone post a pic of a "flowering size" paph

I wanna see how big i should be expecting my paph to get before flowering. Any pics would be much appreciated

Depends on which Paph you have. They don't all bloom at the same size.

I agree, it would help if you can let us know the specific paph you have. Some can bloom with 4 inch LS tip to tip on a single matured growth, while some multiflorals will not bloom until they reach 2 ft LS AND multiple growths!

Here is what a blooming size Paph. Maudiae looks like

Regardless of leaf size, unless its a big multifloral - which, as Jorch says, may need multiple growths before being 'flowering size' - a general rule of thumb is that once a Paph starts to make multiple growths it should be able to flower.

Thanks everyone. Its my 1st paph and she is a NOID cause i saved her. Paphs are my absolute fave but in my area are very hard to get so i have 1st time paph jitters.

If the mature growth have new growths and the base start to swell up, then you can expect to see a spike soon.

Oooohh reeeaaaalllly?? I think my baby is getting ready. Thats something i did notice the other day. All her new leaves are matured and base is starting to get fat and firm

Hard to say as most paphs are sold as a divided single growth(which i hate), who know how big the plant was which was divided up????

[let_it_grow]

True, but when i repotted it i inspected the plant for root rot and i didnt see any area that looked cut. When they are divided do the have to be cut from the old growth the way an Oncidium would need to be? The new growth has a thicker base that the old growth which DID have a dead flower spike when i got it. I would make the assumption that the new growth would need to be as big or bigger than the old growth in order to flower. Now its just a question of lighting.
