Paph Magic Lantern
 

Second flowering, the first time it flowered it was pretty average and wasn't a good shape at all. I have grown this anywhere between freezing (32F) and very hot (110F) and it seems to grow well. It has a number of growths and might flower again next year.

This time much better and I think I will hold onto it......

Nice round segments on this one! The staminode is darker than on most clones I've seen...it almost lacks the fiery yellow-orange "lantern flame" that was the namesake for this grex. Very unique!

Beautiful flower. So this has bloomed for you twice this year?

Once this year and once last year.

Really nice... I love that dark center.

very nice flowering, good job!

Thanks guys, it's a bit darker than some of the ones I've grown before. I will keep it growing, it might get awarded one day.

I just noticed a spike forming on another Magic Lantern today so fingers crossed that it turns out to be another good one.

Love pink Paphs and this is simply beautiful.

It's very nice. I've been wanting to try out some parvisepalum paphs, and this one's on my list.

I love the shape and color of the flower. :)

Lovely :)
