Default Paph. gratrixianum

This is a division I got from a friend last year. Last year I had one flower; this year I will have two. One open now and another just emerging. It is one of the better Paphs for growing under cooler conditions. This one is in an east window with my Odonts.

It's in a 5" pot with a total of 6 growths. The leaves are about 10-12" long but very narrow.

Thats one of the Paphs I would get if I had room for a paph. I love the colors, or the waxyness of the flower really.
