Paph. spicerianum

[b amateur]

It is late this year.Some of my plants didn't bloom at all this season,others died outright,still others did really well.It was a rough summer for them last year.A tornado crashed large Maple branches on them,torrential rains swamped then,and to top the whole experience off,a murmmeration of Starlings roosted in the same Maple for several weeks and repeatedly covered everything in decidedly not urea-free "fertilizer".I'll take late blooms.The fun part is re-building the collection.

Yikes, that was a bad summer! I hope this coming one treats you better!
