I have a French Jewel a few years from its last flower. It has bud now...the last one gave me a mugged jaw. I get lots of 'mugged' jaws out of the Lehua plants that are seedlings unbloomed.
Yours is very nice and Graham has said "2nd and 3rd blooms come out much better on some plants than the 1st bloom" Maybe mine look as good this time

Mugged = deformed

I have a few hybrids originated from Lehua, but none bought directly from him (although I always wish to order big had I more space).

I have been lucky I guess. I have not had any "mugged" ones yet. I thought mugged ones were uncommon in this kind of paphs. certain paphs, too many mugged ones.
