Paphiopedilum malipoense

One leaf didn't grow into a full size yet, but another started to come out. After looking through many pictures on the web it seems that maybe my Paph. malipoense decided to bloom too?
Here is the close up:



I read that they grow enormously long spike and it takes forever. The bonus is - there might be raspberry fragrance.

I think that paphiopedilums quickly become my favorite. They require much less care than vandas in vases, look nice without blooms with mottled foliage and are much more sturdy than phals.
