Default NOT a windowsill slipper - Paph MK
Noticed this spike forming out of the corner of my eye. I did not see it when I was watering last Saturday and Sunday. Paph Michael Koopowitz is phillipinense x sanderianum. The petals are said to get up to 31 inches long but I have only seen a picture of one with 21 inch petals.
