Paph St. Swithin
My "husky" plant is in spike ( 4 growths plus another 2 on the way ).
I am hoping for at least another spike as the plant is healthy after spending Summer outdoors, communing with Nature. Looking back in my records, this spike is about 2 months later than others. Also in 2015 I split the plant into 2 and the smaller 2 growth division bloomed while the larger plant didn't. I think I am going to do the same next year, retaining 3 growths per division.

First bloom. Another 3 to go.
Plants love it on my south-facing desk, about a foot from the window. Temp now is 75f ( 18f outdoors ! ) and humidity of 48%. Left is St. Swithin, middle is Paph Harold Koopowitz and on the right a really big bloomed Phrag Sedenii.

Hausermann's has a lot of multifloral, and other, Paph seedlings now, though not St Swithin. They do have Paph Gary Romagna, which is St Swithin x rothschildianum.
