Default Paph Toni Semple

thought for the longest this was my paph honey blooming. Until it bloomed

A few years old I'm sure this growth is. I got this from Ray a way back when he was cleaning his greenhouse up. Bloomed and only now has it re emerged in its full glory. A nice paph flower with good coloring and spotting.



A lot of the paphs I bought were only 1 bloomed plant. Most of them have new growths now, but its going to be a very long time to see them in bloom again.



I havent forgotten the paphs. I have a few more coming up

thanks you . and yes Ray it was a really big beautiful well grown plant to start with when I got it from you . I don't know how you sell any of them to be honest

took about a year and half and that growth best estimates was a year old so..about 2.5 years..give or take a day and half ..thats another reason you tag your plants and catalogue what they do or dont do the best you can. should be a few more years before you see this one again...it is a sequential bloomer also. they get smaller and smaller

the apple green of the dorsal against the creamy purple spotted petals into the darker purple is a wonderful transition of color. great eye candy flowers
