One of my favorite long petaled Paph hybrids. Though I find it terribly difficult to photograph!
I repotted the other night, so included a more recent photo also. ;) http://mysite.verizon.net/vze6k4l0/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/mk.jpg

LOL! I got the watch for x-mas after a year w/out one. It is skanky after a month in the West Indies. :roll: That's funny tho - I saw the watch and though hey, there's my new watch!
Thanks all for the nice comments. Is the break in the middle stripe of the dorsal normal? I've wondered!

Steve,
Do tell. Is this your version of Michael Koop? Gotta' love those soft, clear Fang pots!

Yeah, Steve, when's this from? Your petals are way longer than mine but pot and mix looks exactly like mine from Norman's in January. I did not like that mix btw.

This one was from Normans. The trick to long petals in keeping them in the dark. Petals elongate in the dark. Lower your day hours to 12 hrs. The mix works great for me because I water 5 times a day. The pots usually go into a darker pot themselves, and I've seen them used with ebb/flow tables.
