blooms.....and foliage. Still "variegated" ? In a south-facing window so receives quite a lot of sunlight. Lots of new root growth - so seems to like the bigger, and deeper, pot.

it's in a " black European pot " - from this site.
Prices are reasonable, but its the shipping that's a killer...
I have moved my phrags and strap-leaf ( long leaf ) paphs into these pots too - but as you will see, there are plenty of choices !

It has a much stronger "stem". I attribute this to moving it to a much sunnier position near a south-facing window. I originally bought it as it had variegated foliage - but have never seen that again, in shaded or sunny positions.
It has a wonderful scent

Beautiful! I have to look for one.
Good growing

shi-zhang = mayor , hong = red.

Mayor's red
