Paph Black Diamond
I am very fond of fairrieanum hybrids. I was looking for this one (delenatii x fairrieanum) for years, but it kept eluding me.
I finally found it about two years ago, when Piping Rock brought a few to the Parkside Orchid Fest. The first bloom a year later was a bit irregular. It was actually so poor, that I did not bother to take a photo.
It is now blooming for the second time, and the flower is much better, so here are a couple of photos.
