Default Paph delenatii var vinicolor
Some of you may be familiar with my friend Paphman's thread about the delenatii vini deflasking. I was one of the recipients of those plants. It's currently blooming now.

Parentage is 'Purple Lantern' x 'Purple Delight'

Eggshells, it is absolutely stunning, the shape and color of sublime. Are you sure about the measurements, ones that have been awarded have a ns of between 8 - 11 but who cares, it's fabulous. Good for you.

It just opened this morning so the flower has not aged yet. Probably 8-9 cm will be the final measurements.

Sure thing! I grow mine intermediate. 16c in the evenings and 28c in the morning. The medium is bark, charcoal and perlite and a bit of sphagnum for moisture. humidity is between 40-70% (lower in winter). No winter rest whatsoever just regular watering. These seedling was grown under one tube of 24" T5 flourescent light. Water is 6.5-6.8 ph. and fertilize weekly with a very low fertilizer.
