    Default Paph. Niveum Damaged..:(

    I recently bought a blooming size Paph Niveum (Nui8P) and after taking care of it for more than a month, it bloomed.

    UNFORTUNATELY, insects got a better start, it nibbled some part of the bud...ggrrr

    I'm now on Rambo mode!

    Such critters are to be crushed and left by the plant as a warning to others, and free fertilizer.

    Looks like a 2nd bud beneath the first. Or are my old eyes deceiving me?
