Default Paph Venustum

I visited the Tokyo International Orchid show and it was quite amazing. A baseball ground (Tokyo Dome) full of orchids. I bought this Paph. Venustum and like the way the flowers are at different stages of development.

That show must have been a great place to be.

Love the photo of your Paph. It's great to see the three stages. Great buy

It was 5,250 yen (about $60 at the current exchange rate, as the yen is strong now). It has four flowers, but only three in the picture. The fourth is also in bud.
