They can be slow for sure! That's why I have to teach these orchids patience.
Only kidding hehe. Actually - once they're going ok and part of the family ..... they'll just do their own thing and keep growing a bit each day - and they will eventually get there to the flowering stage and give us a nice surprise!

Consider it as a feature instead of a drawback!

DC, if you have NOIDs, send pix or links to pix... often leaf shape (and markings if present) can give a clue as to at least which group the Paph is in, which in turn can give an indication of culture needs.

Nice to hear you are a big fan of Saint Swithin paphs too!
Just took a pic of it this morning - as it may have opened up fully now. And also before anything like grasshoppers etc decide to do some chewing!!!!! So better get a pic first at least.

Thanks for your post message HBN! I'm a huge fan of the most excellent orchid information pages that you created over the years! Thoroughly enjoyed (and still do enjoy) reading the info, and seeing the fantastic pics there. |

Two more pics so that we can see more 'shoes' (slippers). Sometimes - depending on the angle, reminds me of elf/elven shoes seen in books etc heheh.

That's one sexy looking Paph.
How bright do you grow it?
