Default Paphs in bloom

I'm pretty lucky this year. I've finally figured out consistent culture is good for paphs. Here's Michael Koopowitz along with a delenatii in bloom. I also have a roth throwing a spike, hopefully that will flower in a couple of weeks.

Gorgeous! I just love Paphs with the long petals!
Yes, do share your culture, especially for delantii - I have one that I have yet to get to bloom!
Good growing!

Both are so lovely.
What are they potted into? Do you use a special mix for paphs?

How beautiful!! Whatever you are doing with those Paphs is working well. Neat to see 2 blooms on the delenatii, that's unusual!
