Really fantastic, Terri!

I'm growing mine as warm as I can year round. It gets repotted annually. I try to not let it dry out completely. Fertilize weekly with MSU. I'm growing under T5HO lights plus whatever it gets from the window. I have found mine to be a really slow grower. It's only 2 growths. The one it's blooming from is pretty small which surprised me. The original growth is still growing new leaves.

Thanks, quiltergal. I used to grow everything under lights, too, and seemed to bloom things more easily than I do now. Main bench was 4 T12's (440w) of light, two cool whites and two Grow-lux WS but I shot for the intermediate temperature range (55-60° winter nights). Didn't have any problem blooming Paph. parishii, stonei, hirsutissimum and others of that ilk using that setup. Maybe I'll have to go back to it if I could figure out where to put it.

Terri, Congratulations!!! I still have three growths plant, which hasn't done anything. I am just about to give up paph all together. ( I only have less than a dozen now.).

Love almost any parvi hybrid. It's beautiful!

I have a couple of seedlings but very slow growing so far. I want a mature one if I can find one somewhere. Amazing flower and along with Dollgoldi it's a favourite of mine.
