Wow!!!!! Talk about being a Master orchid Grower. Nice color, nice leaves! How did you manage to get so many multiple growths? Thanks.

Jane ...
Your Magic Lantern is a wonderful example of a well-grown paph. I especially like the overhead shot - it shows harmony of the dorsal, petals and pouch.
There are 67 AOS awards to Magic Lantern - HCCs and AMs but only one cultural award. The CCM was awarded in 2005 to the grower of an eight-growth plant that had 3 flowers, two buds on four inflorescences. Flowers were 9.0 x 8.5 cm.
Perhaps you'll show this beauty at the upcoming judging in Elmsford NY on July 21? It is gorgeous now, but what a stunning display it will be with seven flowers open.
Thanks for sharing!
