One more Paph has opened...

[shakkai]

One more of my Paphs has started flowering. This is a first time flowering seedling that I got just last year.

Paph. Venus Legend The label says (purpurescens x venustum var. pardinum) but I checked with the breeder and they say that purpurescens is a syn. virens.







I cut the spike on Paph Envy Green, as it is a single growth seedling and I want to try to get more blooms next time, so I want it to focus on producing more growths. Paph Pinocchio has opened another flower too. Apart from those, I still have the two others of this type in flower. Here is a photo of the three of them together:

Two more plants have flowers about to open soon, and there are 4 more plants starting to spike so I'm looking forward to all of the flowers brightening up these dull, dark days of winter!! Paphs are fantastic for that!
