Very pretty. What is the Phal in the background, if you don't mind? Maybe you could post a pic of it too?

The phal in the back is P. Brother Tom Walsh, which I got as a freebie seedling with an order and got to flower it for the first time myself! I will post a pic in the Phal section.

nice flower. I like all the paphs with delenatii in them..they are like the "fuzzy puppy slippers" and sometimes they smell good too..

Have one of these I have just bought in bloom and moved a "samurai" leafed cattleya around too close to it,chopped the spike off clean....I just have to wait abit like a few years for the nubbin to get grown up .

What a pretty flower! for some reason, it looks a lot like Paph Ho Chi Minh

[Cavs n' Orchids]

Thanks! It looks alot like Ho Chi Min because they both have delenatii as a parent.

Um, I don't think that is Magic Lantern. I think it's Ho Chi Minh. This is Magic Lantern. The pink netting and huge pouch are always present in Magic Lantern from it's micranthum parent.

The id tag it came with said Paph delenatii x micranthum, but it wouldnt be the first time I had the wrong id tag sent in a plant. I think you are both right, it definitely looks like Ho Chi Min, and not at all like Magic Latern. Thanks!

Mistagging happens all the time unfortunately. But sometimes it works in your favor. My Ho Chi Minh was marked delenatii. I came out on the right side of that deal. At the time it was a far more expensive plant than delenatii.
