Paph. gigantifolium deflasked.

Finally I received the last batch of flasks for this spring. Now there will be a series of posts with pictures of them deflasked with measuring tape, so I could track their growth.
First is HS 9050 - Paph. gigantifolium 'Cheng' x self from Hung Sheng Orchids nursery in Taiwan.
HS flasks always come in glass bottles that need to be cracked and I actually mastered this process by now: wrap bottle into plastic bag, take hammer hold the top of the bottle and hit exactly on the side of the bottom. Round bottom comes off almost clean and puck with orchids sits on it nicely.
Agar was soft and plants separated easy, there was 21 plntlet in the flask:
