Paph Angela
niveum x fairrieanum
It could be multi-floral if I understand it correctly. But so could be delenatii and I have one which is absolutely not.

This board certainly does encourage the orchid hobby!

I wouldn't expect "multifloral" ... neither parent is. Maybe niveum might have 2 on an inflorescence (delenatii sometimes does too) but the the usual, and in the hybrid? Would be really surprised. But orchids do surprise and make liars of us all...

That is interesting. Thank you. I do not have any expectations. Would be glad to see this plant grow and bloom. I should be honest, I was confused as I saw a picture of multifloral bloom.
I do have one question about paphs. Do they ever rebloom from old fans? |

Nope....once a fan has bloomed you need to wait for the next one. (They typically grow leaves, then roots, THAN flowers) The good news... it is likely to happen much faster than with the multiflorals (which are mostly strap-leafed). As the plant matures, you will likely get multiple fans. That's when you may well get multiple flowers at the same time. (That's not "multifloral", you still usually get one flower per inflorescence, as opposed to the multifloral ones that have multiple flowers on a spike either all at once or sequentially) |

Hi Everyone.
While watering my St. Swithin I thought of this topic. How are your Paphiopedilums doing?
St. Swithin is slow. I mean... like slower than slow, in a slow way
I think this plant is going to test my patience

My project plant, Debbie Robinson, is preparing for it's first bloom. It has a big fat bud so hopefully not too much longer... but... new baby so who knows! |

I was prompted to take a few pictures this evening of it. Such pretty leaves!
My first Paph, if it turns out the my conditions are favourable, I can see the collection growing quickly! |
