Very lovely. Does anyone who can bloom this one have any tips? I have had a few other paphs bloom just fine and this one bloomed once for me 2 years ago. Since then it has gotten quite a few new growths and looks good, but no blooms.

I know mine didn't bloom for awhile when it got too much light....dunno if that helps any

Thanks for the tip. It does grow in medium light. Any info on the temps you grow it in? I'll have to do some digging, but I wonder if I am growing it a bit cool in winter. the plant seems happy, but maybe it is preventing blooms. My greenhouse is cool in winter and I have to sort of create a little micro-climate for some that need it warmer. This one may have to go in there.

Stunning paph. Where did you get it?

it's hard to photograph with flash without glare unfortunately
