Paph. barbigerum in bloom
 

First bloom for me. It is so tiny and cute, I just love it.

Cool bloom and it IS tiny and cute! Congratulations on the bloom.

yes! love that species... been meaning to get one... how do you grow it?

It's on a shelf about 2 feet away from t-5 lights. Two bulbs on in summer and I just put the 4 bulbs on for coming winter. Humidity runs from low of 40 to high of 75 depending on weather outside. ( I run humidifiers when it's really dry outside) Temp range from 60sF nights and up to 85 days in summer, only gets to about 70F days in winter. Water twice a week summer and once a week winter. Light fert. twice a month.
My grow space gets very little sun, thus the t-5s

I believe this is a cool grower, right?
What's the flower size?

I don't know if it's considered a cool grower, but I listed the temps it gets here and it likes it enough to bloom, so I guess that's what it likes. It did survive my debacle of 114F degree day that I posted a while back. the bloom is about 2" tall and 2" from tip to tip. The plant is about 1" tall with a 5 inch wingspan.

Wow, cute. Well done. I'll see if it will let me post this time around.

So cute!
