paphiopedilum leeanum - Are these spikes?
 

Hello, my friends

Just to be sure...this is my first and only phap so far. Bought it almost a year ago so I really don't know how it looks.

Yes!

Great! Thanks.:D
I'm eager to see how it develops...and I thought I couldn't give it the right conditions.

They sure are spikes and you have done very well with this plant. Looks like they are going to be big flowers of this old variety.
Well done.

Looks like a very happy plant with spikes! :)

Thanks:)

In fact, this is two plants in one pot.;)

Indeed they are. Please post :photo: when the blooms mature. Congrats

I certainly will...not only this paph, some other genera too.:D

What a great sight!
I love it!

Majority of my paphs including these paphiopeidlum subgroup and their hybrids bulldogs are all in spike, too! Yay!!! :)

By the way, how cold does the winter get where you are?
You might be able to grow this outside year around??

Outside, minimum of -3ºC (aprox 26 F) and max. around 12 ºC (53 F).
Inside, where the paph is, min around 12ºC (53 F) and max around 15 ºC (59 ºF), unless I turn on the A/C but this happens only when I'm using that room, which is never more than 2 hrs.

I don't think so, it's too cold outside.
