Lovely things - I have had two plants, flowered both, killed both...Mine were much stronger pink colour, sprays of several flowers. very difficult things to photograph - I think I ended up lying on the ground and aiming my lens up at them. There is another Paphinia spwecies too - I had one once but it was a very poor grower. P.herrera is said to be the easiest

So sad Geoff I know the darker pink color even very beautiful as compared to pale one aha maybe to cold there, thanks.
