Paph. delenatii
It kept it's lovely color and form from last year. This year it was able to hold onto 2 flowers at the same time, though the older of the two is on it's way out. The second flower has a tiny bit of color break on the pouch.

That's really beautiful. Good work. My delanatii produced its first-ever bloom this season; I'm enjoying the last of it now before it falls off. The color is much paler than yours, almost washed-out. Do they maybe produce darker flowers as the plant matures?  |

Stephen I think there are two distinct lines of breeding. The paler is the original that was collected and sent to France. The one like mine came from a different location in Vietnam and has the more saturated color. Someone told me last year they thought it might actually be Paph. vietnamese. I don't know for sure. I just know it was sold to me as delenatii.

It's gorgeous!! You were lucky to have two blooms at once. Me too, I really like how pink it is compared too the delenatii I usually see pictures of.

That looks great. I really like the color of the pouch, so much richer than you usually see. Thanks!
