My Paph Angela is in spike, I will hopefully create a sequential picture thread over time. I have enjoyed a few of the other ones here, I thought I would dedicate some time this also since it has fairrieanum in it :evil: :poke: This hybrid is niveum 'hsinton' x fairrieanum 'clark'.

Very nice and healthy looking plant and this should make a very pretty primary hybrid! Actually, I don't think I have ever seen this hybrid before, so I'm looking forward to seeing the pics!

Ditto -
fairrianum huh? Quel surprise! :lol:

l like these progressive threads that start when the flower is in bud :-dance: , do keep us updated

A quick update, Angela is doing great! She is growing at a steady rate. I had a really hard time taking this photo, still not in flower yet...

Well, it just had better be THIS forum! :D

This place is so full of addicts it's awesome! You guys rule, and Yes it will be this forum. I do not think that European Sex Slave forum errr.. I mean the Water Crested Blue Tit Bird Forum...would appreciate these photos. :poke:

Here is another picture. The bud has begun to swell and open on up slowly albeit. Enjoy!

close only a couple of more days!

oooh... the suspense is KILLING me!

My Deception took like weeks to open fully....:roll:
Patience, patience....

Angela's looking mighty sexy! Watching orchids open is my favorite sort of 'peep show'! :shock:

It isn't faster than watching paint drying or grass growing! But the anticipation makes it all worth the while.

open up wide :ohmy:

We are getting real close! She is almost open!

Well here she is in all her glory. The top dorsal is still a bit cupped, but it is a first time bloomer. I really like it!
