Default 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

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.

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.

I've named all of my project plants

Project 1 - Phal lobbii - Jessica
Project 2 - Angcm scottianum - Scottie
Project 3 - Paph venustum - Abby (as in AB Normal, from the classic Young Frankenstein )
Project 4 - Aer rhodosticta - Rhoda
Project 5 - L reginae - Layla

I really have WAY too much time on my hands!
