Sequential bloomers will keep growing new buds on an ever lengthening spike, droping the older flowers and holding just a couple or so at a time. One of these types is Pinocchio which is a primulinum hybrid and mine had one or two flowers at a time for over a year.

Looking at your spike it does look like it's this sort rather than the type which grow either one bud, or at most two which form together. However sometimes ones with spikes like this will just grow 2-3 buds sequentially on the spike. I'm still waiting to find out if my new primulinum hybrid will be like that or if it will grow more buds after the current 2 flowers and 1 bud have finished.

Mine had two flowers open and one bud. Now the first flower is gone, and the bud is open, so two flowers on it. It doesn't looke like it will produce any more.
By the way, it is scented like rose, so I'm thinking it is Honey.

Gloria- Thank you for the link to the great information!

Yeah I like this one too - You're welcome

The second flower is also gone a few days ago, and now I am left with just one flower. It had two flowers in bloom and one in bud when I bought it, so they must have been in bloom for quite some time I guess. All my other paphs usually stay in bloom for about three months. but this guy is totally new to me, so I have no clue how long their blooms supposed to last for.
Do you have paph. honey?

[Lagoon]

Yes I have this one - as I recall 8 or 9 weeks was the flower time for this guy.

Oh, thank you. So it is shorter than what I normally expect of paphs I have.
Can you tell me how much light this paph needs? All my other paphs do well bright shade.

Thanks in advance!

If you can get them growing well enough as some are faster then others they can bloom during the late spring and fall. Some paphs can even skip a year or 2. So not all paphs are the same. You'll see within time

I like the honey is a pretty reliable bloomer.
I keep mine under 4ft T8 tubes, just enough to bloom catts.

If you give honey light strong enough for catts to bloom, I guess that's fairly strong.
My paphs (mostly maudiae types) flower once a year, some twice a year in a low light setting (north window).
I guess honey needs more light then?
