It's one of my favorite sanderianum hybrids. You should post some pics for us to enjoy. Is yours in bloom now?

In the photos I see a Shadow in the middle looks like that growth is mature with 4 leaves. I think you have a spike on the way. Also the new growth is another sign you might have a spike since I have noticed on mine they send out new growth as they start to spike. So Give it a few months and you might have a spike.
Who says it is not blooming size? |

New growths on paphs are not called keikis. They are just simply new growths. Nice robust plant though!

I was thinking the same thing. A paph/phrag is actually sympodial, the same as a cattleya, but the set of leaves is called a "hand" (or so I read somewhere). In a monopodial plant like a phal, or a vanda, the plant would continue to grow upwards indefinitely. Just FYI. |

this is one of my favorites! I love the curly twisty petals and the colors!
I love paphs, I love watching the buds slowly unfurl....and they last forever!
