Paph. delenatii

This is 1/2 dunkel. The color is good. Shape is so-so. Fragrance is nice, but light.

The color is very good, and I particularly like the staminode on this one.

Very nice!

So cute. I need to get another one of these.

I love the color.

I can't wait for mine to bloom. I have 2 new growths on it so it is doing well but no bloom. Its still young only 3 years old about.

Agreed! It's a fantastic species.

You have a very pretty one! And fragrant! That is even better! Congratulations.
My only Paph is a very small seedling delenatii. I really hope it will be a fragrant one. :)

Pretty!

MrHappyRotter what makes the shape 'so-so' in your opinion? (newbie question)

Well, P. delenatii is prone to the recurved petals and curled dorsal sepal in general, and this flower is no exception. Also, it's not a terribly large delenatii flower. Though it does make up for that by producing bi-floral spikes sometimes, plus the color is really nice and it has a lovely fragrance.

The best of the best should have full, and flat or nearly flat petals, and minimal curvature in the dorsal sepal.
