P. delenatii.

P. venustum.

Nice ones Jim! That hirsutissimum has lovely colors and a pretty shape. My delenatii is driving me crazy. I've got twin buds and the first one is opening at a glacial pace! It will be my first time blooming a slipper of any kind.

Beautifully grown in form and color
Have you found any difficulty in growing these?
I have read that Paph. delenatii can be a bit stubborn. I was wondering what your experience has been.

My paph delenatii lost most of it's leaves, as I previously posted in a different thread about a month ago. It has half an old leaf, a small new leaf, and another new leaf just starting to show its self. Very stubborn!

All beauties, Jim. Good growing! I'm green with envy as I have all three of these species and not a sign of a bloom on any of them, at least in the near future.

I grow these plants under fluorescents in my basement they receive 800 to 1000 FCs water once a week and use MSU fert.
Paph. venustum is our project #3 plant and he looks great. Thanks Jim.
