This is my Paph fairrieanum (fairrieanum 'Red' AM/AOS x fairrieanum 'OZ') in spike. This paph will have a long spike of about 18 inches when the bud is open. It's almost there and hopefully will be open, for the 3rd straight year, in a week or 2. The next growth is already decent sized. Already bloomed growths 'lay down' after blooming and don't really grow anymore.

I love this flower. It is my current avatar.
