It always blooms once a year and makes 1 growth a year. I does seem to be a little slower than some of my other paph species.

Mine has been growing a fan for about 18 months now, it's just started a new leaf on it. It's also just started another new fan. Seems to be my slowest so far Anyway, that will make the flower even more exciting when it gets there

Your delenatiis might seem slow but I think sanderianum wins the competion for the slowest growing paph! Mine last bloomed in 2011, is still trying to mature a growth.

Pollinated on April 25th with pollinia that I got from Leo Schordje from Paph. sanderianum 'Nov. 2012'. Trying to come up with a clonal name for my delenatii...
