Default A Few Vini in Bloom

The first one is the kind of shape I like the most.

The second one (I have two and they both look almost identical) has nice gloss and red color in person, and the best color under the light. I just wish the large dorsal was not so wavy. oh, well.

The third one has a large bud, so I was really excited.
The flower opened up very large for type, but the color is just too washed out for me.

The last one is also very pretty in person.
The red tone is just so bright which does not show well in the picture at all. It is also very flat, which is nice to look at.

They are very nice, but I do favor the first one. As soon as it warms up (if ever), I'll have to get a vini Paph.

Really lovely, I love these red paphs. Like you I favour the shape of the first one.

Thank you!

I guess I'm not alone.
I like that overall balanced look with the pouch not sagging down too much, and the upside down heart shaped dorsal rather than perfectly round dorsal.

The color is quite something. only if I could capture it in the photo! oh, well...

Gosh I want some red paphs! Really nice. The first one is pretty nice, though I like the color of the 4th one quite a bit.

Very nice NYCorchidman! I find growing these plants a challenge. I'm of a mindset that they do best in a greenhouse, but you grow your plants in an apartment! You inspire me to try to grow them better. Thank you.
