    Talking My First Earned Slipper Bloom

    This guy finally opened yesterday. Label says Paph callosum 'Jack' but the general consensus is that it's mis-labelled and most likely a charlesworthii hybrid of some sort, possibly Paph Rosita (charlesworthii x callosum). I'll never know for sure but I'm still pleased that I got a slipper to bloom 'from scratch' so to speak

    I like the coloring on this one, no matter what the correct name is. Congrats on the bloom!

    Good growing. Name?? I'd probably call it pinky and the brain.

    That's interesting, Fren, I'm wondering if it was the same vendor...
