Looks like nice wide petals. Should be a beauty!
Ideally, you don't want to stake a paph until the flower is mature. Since the ovary doesn't totally harden up until then, earlier staking often doesn't work very well.

thanks duane

I had it staked for a moment to get him off the leaf the bloom was turning brown where he was sitting on the leaf..I took the stake off when he rose up high enough to get off the leaf. He was starting to get a pug nose ...I think hes stuck here now for a few days...but this is a pretty one indeed!!!

[RJSquirrel]

all opened up and the flower is like cardboard tough!!

I know why Duane loves these so much now..

[silken]

That is lovely!! Such a pure white and lovely petals!

I like the multi color stuff just as much but for some reason these album white blooms have so much CLASS I guess you can call it

Has a new growth thats looking good nice and strong
His "jaw" is a little crooked bec he rested on the leaf to long I'm thinking but its a very nice flower and thank you
