View Full Version : Paph lowii - 1st Bloom Anonymous March 29th, 2005, 06:34 PM Paph lowii 1st bloom - Picture taken 10 minutes ago - 5" flower. Purchased about a year ago from Al. Bloomed in spite of me underwatering and underfertilizing for the 1st 6 months or so... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/TerpsRock/Paphlowii3-29-05.jpg RickL March 29th, 2005, 06:40 PM Good Job Terp. You have 3 or 4 buds on that spike? Paphgirl March 29th, 2005, 06:59 PM Beautiful! One of my all time favorite species. Nice job growing, Rob! What's the leafspan/how many growths? Do be sure to post another photo in full bloom with everything open, if you would be so kind! (Funny how us newbies are prone to that underwatering thing...) :roll: Paphgirl<-------running off to threaten her poor challenged lowii! Anonymous March 29th, 2005, 07:08 PM 2 growths...2nd of which is about 1/2 way to full size...5" wing span... There are 2 more buds... I'll try to update it when all 3 flowers are fully open. If you get a chance, check out the differences between it and it's 1st bloom sibling on Al's site...keeping in mind I have a far inferior camera, but the spotting, shape and dorsal colors are quite different... Paphraguy March 29th, 2005, 07:31 PM Beautiful! It is also one of my favorite multiflloral species. Yes, do post more pics when it is in full bloom!
