An easy & forgiving paph - terrarium grown.
One new growth from last winter has started to flower.

Paphs push my patience limits but so worth it. These little ones give lots of bang for the buck-little cotton ball. Well done.

Great (and unique) description!
It does look like a little chick popping up... glad I don't have to feed it

Thanks!
I really enjoy the small paphs. They can be slow, but they are steady.

Another one I really like (that does well in the terrariums) is P. barbatum var. nigritum. Divided and repotted 7 new growths which are beginning to go into flower mode. Will try to update and post some photos (especially now that I have some extra time on my hands during my virtual vacation in covidland).

A double in the bottom of the second inning

Wow, absolutely gorgeous!!

Thanks, appreciate the compliment.

I really like the small footprint of this Paphiopedilum (overall small size) and think it is a great cross. Has done very well in my 'warmish' set-ups... almost bulletproof.

That's a nice one! Small footprint, but bodacious bloom.
