Abby just keeps surprising me!

My Paph venustum from OB's Project 3, Abby to her friends , keeps surprising me! First a new growth and now a bud!!! I never thought I'd have a chance at getting a bloom this soon as Paphs are not really my best growers

She sure is a beauty, Sue! Nice growing.

Susanne... I looked at mine this morning and saw it too is in low sheath. This is the time of year for Paphs. I have a lot in bloom or sheath right now I'll post pics later. Jim.

Sarah's (sjMagoo) was in bud before Abby...but I'm still doing the happy dance

Hooray for Abby

I don't think mine was first, I think I was just the first to post - it looks like maybe now is the time that quite a few of the Project #3 babies are getting ready to reward us

I can't wait - this one is such an interesting flower!

Coolness! A nice surprise.
I love that you named her and that I'm not the only one who does that.
