Smile Paphiopedilum Delophyllum
Thanks for looking This is the first blooming on the plant. There are several new growths (some mature, some very young) on the plant, so I'm hoping next year I'll have blooms with more than two flowers

It and my other paphs are about 5 feet from a 400w MH lamp + NW window exposure (basically non-existant this time of year in MN, hah). I can't believe how quickly these plants flower! There was no evidence of a spike up until early November and already a flower!!

















Sorry for all the pictures!!! I'm just proud I got this one to bloom
