Well done ! Slipper Orchids can often be difficult to get to reflower.

Simbad - it was from the usual place. Always good deals in the bargain bin there.

Waddy - north facing window and not too hot usually does it!

My latest reduced buy is in a cool north facing room meani , I'll try to forget all about it until the spring , it will probably have me reported for neglect :o(

Each fan blooms once and then dies. It takes about a year for the new fans to be of blooming size, but can sometimes take two the first year after moving.

Most Paphs are terrific Delonix!

I know. I see them here for sale all the time.

Very nice.

Delonix - it's just the pink ones that I dislike.

SL - the only problem with this one is that each stem carries just one bloom.

Yes but what a bloom..

Mine didn't make it....too hot in my house for it. :o(
