Wilted Paph Flower Before and After

[My Green Pets]

My first paph lost its flower recently. The wilting process lasted several days. I noticed the sepals were looking a little transparent and within a few days it was drooping. The dorsal sepal really hung in there till the end. The day it collapsed was the day the flower fell off.

As a side note, I am drying it—and it looks like it could turn out pretty cool (Pics of the dried flower further down the page, post #7)
