Paph. St. Swithin got whiskers

They are not straight yet, but I guess it means - the bloom started to open:



Couple more days and there will be a flower.

And some more tulips...

Tulips

It is a tulips season in Ottawa and Tulip Festival is on again.

Phal. Mituo Sun King II

This is my second version of the cross Mituo Sun 'Mituo #1' X LD's Bear Queen.



It came from Crystal Star Orchids too and had one open flower and couple buds. Now all three flowers are opened.



Plant itself is large and healthy with pretty long spike:



I am not even sure which one I like better - my first one the red or this one pink spotted.

Paph. Prince Edward of York

Here is my newly purchased Prince Edward already repotted:



Nice and healthy leaves, roots had some peeling but there are still plenty of firm ones left. I knew it was blooming sized but after less than a week after getting it - I noticed the bud start on the larger fan.
Of course I noticed it after repotting and was worried that stress of tepotting would affect the bud development. Another week passed and bud looks fine and growing:



Can't wait for the bloom.

I noticed that all three of my paph hybrids are the rothschildianum primary crosses, it was not intentional, but now I am thinking maybe I should continue along this line...
