Growth in Paph Vanda M. Pearman
Hi all,
Some of you may remember my first Paph bloom. If you were around, how could you forget. It was like having my first kid. Every change was a chance to take a pic. Well, Im up to my old habits again.
Just as a reminder, this is what this orchid was doing a few months ago:

and then it sadly lost its blooms after a month of glory, and began to sprout new growths. At first I thought there would be three, but only one kept growing.

and a few months later, here it is. The oldest leaf is nearly the size of the adult leaves. However the parent plant lost another leaf today. Kinda sad, but the promise of a new plant keeps things on a happy note.

Sooooo, I hope I get to see it bloom again this May-June.
Thanks for looking!
