    Default Paph Callosum

    Hello everyone!

    My first paph is in bud and I'm very excited. I just want to make sure everything looks okay here. I would be so upset if it blasted....

    Nope, it looks like you will get it to open unless you get klutzy and bump the bud harshly!

    I love the mottled leaves too. Unfortunately some really cool paphs do not have them so I just stick with the ones that do
