Finally, my variegated Paph Julius is in bloom again. Flowers are huge and they measure 8-10 inches and 12 inches if I stretch out the petals to the sides. Flowers from the last bloom session on a normal growth were even larger at 12 inches.

I forgot to answer your question earlier - yes, I can see the variegation on the leaves. Very nice! It has grown a lot since I last saw the plant.

Hey , you should not stretch out the petals to the sides. It is called "natural" spread instead of manual spread ! Hehe !!! :lol:
