Paph philippinense

[AvantGardner]

I used to own this teacup variety, most commonly called philippinense var. palawanense. It is named after Palawan island, where the diminuative variety is found. It is truly a marvel how small they are, both plant and flower.

I have only heard of a handful of these in cultivation, so what you have there is very rare and special. I unfortunately lost mine to rot not long after I purchased it. Phils are notorious for basal rot. Take care of the little guy and congrats on growing and blooming it!
