    Default Paph dianthum

    This Paph was my first Polyantha. I acquired the plant in 2001 and it turned out to be very reliable. This time it had four buds on one inflorescence but sadly I managed to pull one off while moving my plants around.

    Thanks everyone.

    I must say that while the colors are not as dramatic as those of e.g. philippinense, the actual shape of the flowers of dianthum is much more elegant.
