    Default Paph bud not arising from center

    How unusual is it to have a bud start inside of the two short leaves of a fan, outside of the central fan. The plant also has a second bud in a separate fan, but in the center as a traditional Paph. Is this a problem, common occurrence or something special. The paph is :Paph. Eagle Peak 'Rustic Days' x Paph. Gege Hughes 'Harvest Moon' AM/AOS .

    Please post a photo!

    About the only time I've seen that, it was actually two new plants emerging from the same growth, but looked odd, as you describe.

    Thank you. If you are correct I will let you know. It is quite plump.Attachment 87229[ATTACH=CONFIG]87228. I tried inserting 2 pictures but never did before and not sure it will work, pretty sure I did not do it correctly. We should know in the next 2 weeks. Feel disappointed if it only a new set o leaves. It appears as the bud did a month ago.

    Usually that’s how a new growth emerges. I have never seen a bloom originate anywhere but the center of the fan.
