Paph. Pepe 'Mendenhall' X Paph. Newberry Halo '#1'
I got this plant in a mix and match 5 pack from Carter and Holmes about a year and a half ago. This is its first bloom and it has inspired me to get a few more complex paphs to add to my collection. Its been open for a while and I'm wondering if it'll flatten out more, but maybe some of these complex paphs stay somewhat curved in.
It also seems to have a second bud developing. Does anyone know if this is common with complex paphs? As a first blooming plant, should I let this bud develop or just enjoy the first bloom and cut the spike after letting it grow after that. It has one other growth started.
The lip isnt perfect but I really like this flower!
(sorry all the photos are sideways... not sure how to fix that)
