Some Paph blooms before holidays

[kavanaru]

Before disappearing for few weeks due to holidays, some mobile shots of some plants in my greenhouse:

Paphiopedilum leuchochillum 'Dark Red' x sib: I had shown the plant on the left here few days ago. It turned yellower after 3 days. The plant on the right is supposed to be from the same flask,the difference between both is very obvious (those who has bought plants from Popow knows he very often puts 2 or 3 plants in the same pot when selling seedlings - this was one of those cases)

Paph sukhakulii: First bloom was aborted two years ago, and I almost lost the plant last year. It seems to be recovering pretty well and here the second bloom (with and without flash)

Fantastic Ramón!

Well as you say, apart from the last one. Very strange looking!

Ramon - Very well done, hope the little mutant pulls it together on it's next blooming.

Very nice! It must be hard to say good bye to them for your holidays! At least it always is for me.

Great selection of Paphs! Love the Paph sukhakulii, I've always been attracted to that one. Still haven't gone as far as to buy any Paphs though!

Lucky you to be going on vacation, I wish I were! Going to Venezuela? Where ever you're going, have a great time!!

Very nice Ramon! have a wonderful holiday!
I still have not 'enlarged' my collection of paphs - I like paphs and phrags but they seem to take years before they mature enough to have flowers.. my 3 hybrids flower (have had them since 2006) but I then added a couple species to my collection in 2009 & they are still growing .. Maybe when they flower I'll get some more..
