Paph. Judge Philip 2spikes
This is the first paph I bought and began growing here in Philadelphia. I bought this plant in bloom at the Waldor Orchids greenhouse (about two years ago). At the time it had a previously bloomed growth (if i remember right) the growth in bloom an a new fan on the way, its a tiny bit bigger now... Needless to say... i caught the paph bug and now they're the majority of my collection.
It had one spike last year and this year it is happily showing off. the plant is vigorous! Two spikes are open and a third is under way, cant wait to have all three in bloom.
For reference this is a cross of Pinochio and Phillipinense. The tag says they are both parents are alba forms, but I doubt thats actually true since this is clearly pigmented.
In the pictures you can see the entire plant, a picture of each flower and one of the emerging spike
