Paph. St. Swithin

This paph seems to be healthy to me, but I haven't observed any growth activity since procured late winter (Feb-March). I have it indoors, on a water tray in a west facing bay window. Two floodlights are overhead in the bay ceiling also. Following advice from this forum I've put it in a mix to simulate the humus (spl?) of a forest floor as best I could. Temps are low seventies during the day and high sixties at night.

Dpn't know the age, and I assume it has yet to bloom. I read where some of these exotic paphs need 10-12 years to bloom. That would be a good definition of patience.


Wingspan of about 24", three nice growths.
