helenae time...
all my Paph helenae has started to bllom (except the one labelled "album", which will keep me waiting for a while to determine whether indeed an album!)
3 different clones, with different quality... this time they all bloomed under pretty cool conditions, and I still did not get any of those very bright yellow/orange colors seein in pictures... this was the explanation given by two sellers once ago...

I love the dorsal on the plant on the left in photo #3 and in #4 and also how the synsepal frames the pouch in photo#4. Just as cute as can be. Mine on it's first blooming (before I killed it, don't ask) was tiny, the plant was only out of the compot for maybe a month before it bloomed.

It's one of the newer species and it is also the smallest of the Paph species. Cute little thing. |

It's also very difficult to find in the US. I heard from someone that they are still not legal here.

Paph. helenae # 3 has opened all the flowers, and the color has improved a lot (IMO)

Kavanaru - Your opinion is spot on, I liked this plant from the original posting and it has just gotten better. Cell phone or not, I love the photo, it makes the flowers look translucent and absolutely fragile. Totally jealous right now.
