Paph Vill-Exul
 
I've had this one since 2010, and it's got very ignored and I've never repotted it. I was sort of under the impression it wasn't doing too well, but when I looked closely more recently I found it wasn't as bad as I thought and even had a couple of spikes.

Unfortunately a second spike blasted, but the first one has given a lovely flower :biggrin:

Lovely!

I think it looks like a nice villosum. :)

How big has it grown since 2010?

I almost picked up a multi growth villosum in spike at a show, but questionable leaves...

Beautiful!

Hmm ... maybe I should ignore my Paphs a bit :p

Thanks everyone :)

I forgot to say that this is a primary hybrid of villosum and exul, but that should be obvious from the name ;)

It's roughly doubled in size since I had it. Some fans have died back, new ones have grown. My records show it started with 8 fans, and it now has 16.

That's pretty nice Rosie. I like it!
