I find paph very easy to take care of. At least the one I have. All the Maudiae types I have bloom twice a year. I have one that's fairrieanum and Yosemite Moon cross, which I got at a show in the spring of 2010. It came with a flower with one growth.
It only grew new fans (4) and no flowers until about a month ago. Now it is sending up two flower buds.
I'm quite excited about it because I was about to toss it after not seeing flowers on it for over a year. and it is beautiful!!!
