Paph. Johnsus '#1' X Paph. Quasky 'Dianne' AM/AOS

I got this plant in a 5pack of paphs from carter and holmes a year and a half ago. It was a single growth then but now has many. The original growth tried to bloom earlier in the fall but blasted. I thought I wouldn't see a bloom for another year but another growth decided to bloom as well so this is the first time i've seen the flower. Not my favorite but it's a fun bulldog paph and vigorous plant.

Sorry the pictures are in odd directions… they were right side up on my computer and turned around in uploading…

Very nice! I'm still trying to learn how to grow those.

I've had a lot of success with paphs. I grow mine under t5 lights for 12 hours a day. I water twice a week and try to fertilize weakly every other week or so. I use the paph/phrag mix from repotme.com, sometimes i add some large perlite to it as well.

Wow the little sucker is really growing. It's very pretty.

And it is a pretty decent flower quality too.
