Talking Paph Lady Isabel in bloom

I really like this paph although the leaf span is over 2'.

Here is the close up.



The entire plant with 4 flowers.



Thank you for looking.

That's a gorgeous plant, I've never really been crazy about paphs, but I think I'll look for this one!

Very pretty.

I'm in agreement with you Snow, they take up way too much space. It looks like a wild jungle in the trays where I grow those big guys. Every time I'm tempted to throw one out, just out of fear....or spite, it throws out some fantastic blooms. I have a couple in bloom now. I love those big guys, but why do the special ones take up so much space?

That is really nice Marilyn, love the color on the pouch. These large ones take up a lot of room and bloom on their own schedule, but to me there's nothing more beautiful.

Beautiful flowers and plant! I love the color combo with the cream and maroon! Under what conditions do you grow the plant? I have a similar one but there are some light splotches on the leaves. They aren't nice and dark green like yours.

I grow all my plants under 4 x 400W HID lights and all my muti-floral paphs get really "high" light. ( about 3' away from the light) They seem to like it.

Thank you all for nice compliments. It IS a large plant.
