Fantastic bloom! It looks like a national symbol for some exotic far off land. Great color and form. You must be very pleased!

I agree RJSquirrel that the BIG Paphs. are amazing. I can see why orchid enthusiasts specialize in growing them. If you can raise them and get them to bloom in Houston, I ought to be able to grow some 'warm' varieties here, don't you think!
