Default Paph. gratrixianum

A great cool-grower for those who love slippers but don't have the heat. This one blooms like clockwork every winter.

The leaves are quite narrow and upright, but it's not a small paph by any means...just doesn't take up as much space since the plant is more upright

Yes, they're beautiful! I had a gratrixianum that did very well for me but was too large for my space. I now have a Paph. affine which actually looks the same but is smaller. I'm very happy with it.

Todd, your's is a much better photo! The colors are so
intense, and I like the shape of the sepals.
