Thanks for the nice compliments, everyone!

What a gorgeous cross. It's easy to see why it makes you happy.

I always love to see it bloom. It is the first plant we got a ribbon on in a show (before it even had the name Paph Spiderman). When properly watered and staked, it really looks stately and elegant. This blooming is a bit floppy because of the weight of the blooms compared to the spike. Another reason to stake orchid spikes from the time they start developing. That way, you can be sure to have a beautiful display.

Thanks, everyone, for looking!

Cheers,
