WOW! Ema, you are right! That is one gorgeous Paph! Beautiful colors and the form is really cute. Love the spots and brown petals. And that lip is simply to die for!! What a fantastic friend you have!

Oh yes, she's wonderful! Also brought me a Paph. spicerianum that's a bit young for blooms but I'm excited about nontheless!

This Paph in the above photo, as with most paphs, almost looks like it's made of plastic. So shiny!!

I know what you mean. My new (first) paph has a similar quality, the camera brings it out even more, but in real life it's wonderfully shiny as well

Very true!
I don't feel as though the above photo did it justice!

Ema, that's a gorgeous Paph! I have a henryanum and love the spotted dorsal it almost always seems to pass on to it's offspring.

It really is lovely! And the green is so bright!

I'm terrified I will kill this orchid! I've got it on a humidity tray, but it's questionable if that even works. I can't wait to move into my new place. My bedroom will be larger, allowing for more plants (haha)...I think on my door it will say "Welcome to the jungle"
