Default Paph lowii

I wasn't going to post this flower because the plant was buried to the back of the bench and was difficult to get a good picture. It has been open for about two weeks and is beginning to fade but as I looked at it today I just had to get out for its photo op.

Very nice!! Didn't know that lowii was one of those that has several blooms at once. Nice effects on the first pic, it looks wild!

Really nice, I hadn't realised it held several flowers at once either.

Thanks to this post I looked for one at the show I went to last weekend. The only one I could find was an alba seedling. It was NOT as pretty as yours and was quite expensive for how it looked. I didn't buy it as it wasn't healthy looking enough for the price. I want one SSOOOO bad now.

You might want to look at Carter & Holmes FYI

(Welcome to Carter and Holmes Orchids Home Page) .

They can be a bit pricey but they do sell a quality product.
