Paph. Mount Toro x gardineri
 

I have now flowered my second multi, and I'm wondering why I didn't start out with these much much easier hybrids in the beginning, instead of going with species.

It's not spectacular in any way, except that it looks drunk or something. I do like those dark, and twisted petals though, otherwise it's a pretty generic multi Paph. hybrid. The most important thing, however, is that it's flowering! That makes it a keeper per definition. :D

I tried out my new camera again, and put in a lot of effort (for being me), and the result is...well...the same as with my old camera really; not that impressive. So, it all seems to point to that the one holding the camera, is responsible for the quality of the pictures. Who would've thunk? :rofl:


Here it is, Crouching Tiger, Drunken Flower:

Weeeeh! Kinda windy outside, eh? (the colour is a bit off in this picture; it's too bright):

Look guys! I can fly like this! (colour more accurate in this picture):

The out of focus flower is like an annoying relative that insists on butting in, whenever you try to take a decent picture of another relative that you haven't seen for a while:

Great pictures!

Your pictures are good!

Thanks guys! :D

Trust me, I'm not fishing after compliments. The pictures just didn't turn out as I had hoped. I'll try harder next time. :)

Wonderful!

That is just fabulous! The stripes on the dorsal look like they were painted on with a fine paintbrush.
