Paph. Michael Koopowitz
A premiere bloomer and my first ever multiflora Paph to flower! I'm extremely happy with it, and this guy is the reason I managed to drag myself up from the darker recesses of my depression.
So, we had about 2 hours of sunlight today, so it was bright enough for me to drag my camera out again. Trying to take pictures of the MK, I realized I need a new camera, because mine is just horrible at focusing when taking pictures at a distance... Either that, or get a tripod... I tried to do my new favourite Paph justice, but it turned out a bit so-so. Anyway, the pictures show off the important stuff at least, so that's okay. 
Those petals... I'm so happy they've twisted as much as they have, and the petals on the first flower are now 47-48 cm (around 18.5"). Now I think they're really done growing:

Beautifully grown and photographed! In my experience, as the plant matures the petals may add up to 10 cm more!

Thanks for all of your kind comments. I'm extremely pleased with my MK, and as my first multiflora Paph flowering, I think it's really something. 
I can't help but wonder when the petals stop growing though. They're now 48-49cm (19"-19.5") on the first flower and I was certain they were done growing when I posted the pictures (took them yesterday). 
Now I want more multiflora Paphs to flower for me, but they're all too small still and they're almost all species, so I might be unable to flower them. I need to get me some more hybrids!
