Paphiopedilum Berenice
Hi again,
This is one that started opening a few weeks ago, this is the first flower. There are two more open now but I won't take another photo until they are all open I think. There are 5 flowers to open. Initially I thought it was a seedling but I was mistaken as it's flowered once before. Still the newer flowers are better shape than the first one but still needs some work. It's my first true multifloral paph (I have had parvi's with more than one) that I have actually flowered. Grown down to 12C but this may be too cold for the plant as the cells on the leaves have collapsed with the cold water, either it's too cool or the water is too cold anyway. Here it is:

Imagine 3 or 4 spikes at once, I wonder if that's possible?

Beautiful! Congrats on blooming it!
I have Berenice too! It has two new growths but the main growth has slowed down a lot. I'm hoping it's working on a bud somewhere deep down. It would be its first bloom.
Maybe if it was a really big plant you could get multiple spikes at once, but that will take a long time.
