Very nice! My Ho Chi Minh just finished blooming yesterday. I was hoping it would hold out until our show next weekend. Oh well, maybe next year.

I just love the spots inside the flower.
and the leaves are to die for.
Better luck next year!

How long do the blooms last on yours? Mine start to get brown spots within about 3 weeks. Not sure if that's normal or not, but it's bloomed that way every year for the last 4 years.

that sounds about right. mine fade quickly also compared to other paphs.
I have always blamed the heat in my setup but maybe it's normal?

Really pretty. I'm only just starting to get into those softer rounder looking paphs, but now I'm really loving them.

I like the other one as well. This is more the sort I've previously been interested in and that's a really nice one.
