Second bloom ever for this plant bought as 2 inches leafspan seedling in 2009.
I like it a lot :biggrin:

Beautiful plant, I love it!! Your pics remind me why it's on my wishlist. It bloomed quite fast, for a seedling.

I really like the white outline on the dorsal of the bloom.

How adorable!!!!!!! One of my favs :love:

Oh, I love it! :love:

I have one of these, quite recently purchased, that has six fans but has never bloomed (as far as I can tell)! I hope I haven't managed to get one of those stubborn clones that just never blooms... :(

Just lovely. It is on my wish list as well.

Love the pouch color, good growing!

Though I generally don't like Paphs, this is probably the only one I can see me adding to my collection! It is SOO cute!!

Cody, Forestview gardens has it from time to time :evil:

I'm with Cody. I'm not generally a fan of Paphs, but I'm a HUGE Paph helenae fan! :)

This is the only paph on my wish list now, and I'm going to the Calgary show tomorrow.......

ohmygosh! cute! :wtg:

Love it! It's just sooo cute! I need one!

Gorgeous Paph!

just gorgeous! my favorite Paphiopedilum species... :)

Thanks,
I agree with you Ramon! unless my thaianum decides to bloom one day and it may become my new favorite...
