Paph bellatulum 'Dalmation' x 'Dr. Spot' Originally from Orchids Limited. A very vigorous plant considering that when I got it by mail 1 1/2 years ago the post ofice had lost it and let it freeze. All i got was a set of mushy frozen leaves with good roots attached. I potted it up and left it in hopes that something would happen...it gotto work on a new growth right away and bloomed a year later. This is the second blooming since then. It's given me two buds per growth each time.

Great plant!! Maybe I'll get one. I have a P. Vanda M. Pearman with a P. bellatulum as a parent. It too is very vigorous and gave me two simultaneous blooms.

That's a great story, and a very nice bloom. Glad you were able to save it.
