Four flowers on maudiae alba

I have a few of these. They all seem to have one flower at a time, but this plant grew so many fans and there are four flowers with potentially two more coming soon.

The whole plant is quite small and it looks cute.

will have to take some better pictures.

I wonder what makes paphs go nuts like this one.

Wow, that's beautiful. Those flowers are so elegant.

Good growing!

Thank you, all!
Yeah, these white/green paphs look so elegant!

I diligently move it by the window for the day and move it elsewhere at night to look at & appreciate it.

Now, I hope this one stays multiflowering as it is now.
Paphs look a little lonely sometimes with one big flower on a tall stem at a time, so I tend to cluster a few of them together, but this little guy has four of its own looking perfect to me!

What a delightful plant! Very cute how they each have a its own direction. It definitely a happy plant.

Here are some more pictures I took last night.

I haven't repotted many of my paphs including this one. I'm geussing this one might actually be two plants in one pot.
For some reason, almost all my paph maudiaes make one (unsually two or more) new fan at a time and with such growing rate, I never see more than one flower at a time usually.
Maybe my growing condition is too tough for them. don't know.

Now, this cross blooms once a year, which is another challenge for me. My other maudiae alba which is lawrenceanum and hsinying citron cross blooms twice a year, and I love that!

This one is cute in deed that all the flowers are quite short while all other maudiaes I have make very long flower stems, which have their own merit.
