    Only one flower for me -- snapped the other bud off. This thing had the weirdest bud development I have ever seen. If I manage to bloom it again down the road, and if it does develop the same way, I'll have to remember to take pics.

    Light fragrance. A Chocolate Drop hybrid.

    Wow! That's about as dark as red can get before becoming black. Very interesting.

    Really pretty. I need to add something with Chocolate Drop to my collection, all the ones I've seen I like.

    The darkest I have ever seen !! Mine bloomed with 4-5 flowers this time, but they were more on the reddish side. Culture plays so important role, that the same clonal cultivars flower so differently under different cultural conditions.

    That bloom is stunning, Paul! I'd be enlarging that photo and showing it to everyone who came near me! The dark red richness of the color is one of the things the paph hybridizers are trying so hard to get - congrats. (And sorry about that bud - isn't that always the way?)
