Patience Reaps Nice Rewards
 

So I bought my new Paph a few weeks back. It already had a bloom getting ready to open. I have learned Paphs take their time opening up. However, the reward is quite stunning:

The original bloom the plant came with is still going strong. So now I have 2:

The new bloom appears slightly smaller than the original one. I am not sure if the blooms will grow when they are fully opened or if it may be stunted due to the fact that the cat's have accidentally knocked down this plant at least 3 times. If anyone knows, please chime in.

Other than that, here is my Paph Parisienne Venus in full glory:

Really pretty! Congrats!

Does that naughty likkle kitty think we really can't see him? Dur!

lol...yeah, right when I was taking the last picture she pounced and down it went :roll:

OOOHH NOOOOOO

One of em has to go!! Any bets which . . . .

Wow - very stunning!! Great job :biggrin:

Nah, I am just going to repot into a ceramic pot so the pot won't be so light and prone to being knocked down. That way everyone can stay :) .

Looking really good.

I think the flower may grow as it opens. I've noticed that on my paphs.

Very nice bloom.
