    Default Paph. Saint Swithin

    First time bloomer for me. I wish I could get a close up shot but I couldn't get anything worth posting with the camera I have.

    Hey Mitch, the picture is just perfect and the flowers are unbelievable! Their shape and color of the flowers are ribbon-worthy!!!!! I have a St. Swithin cross but my flowers pale by comparison. Great growing .... congrats!

    One on the top of my wishlist. Unfortunately none of the local vendors I know seem to stock it. Thanks for sharing.

    What an incredible orchid! I just got a St. Swithin a few weeks ago but it's still a year or so away from blooming.
