its just about ready to bust loose

bought this one at the show. only 1 he had that was not opened up or sold. I like to watch them open up when I can. the blooms last longer bec they arent getting all bounced around before you get them home.

I have come to understand that these are "tropical" paphs and like it warmer with brighter lighting. I have plenty light and plenty warm coming

I kept walking around looking at all the plants. I walk around long enough come back and the ones I was looking at where gone. Thank Goodness

I did the same thing at the show I went to. But, mine were still there when I came back so I had to buy them.

I love the multi floral types! I had a hybrid of this one once.

RJ that is one of my favorite species Paphs. Looks like it's going to be a nice one. Can't wait to see bloom pictures!

I wasn't so lucky at our show. The two I had my eye on were purchased by an OS buddy who loves Paphs too. My DH was estatic that I did not buy one single plant, and actually sold $104 worth of my existing collection.
