| When do Paph. blooms usually open?
Remember this photo i posted up on the 29th of Jan?  Well its like almost 2 months, and its not haven't opened up  But its getting there...   How long will it take for paphs to open up fully? I want to take to the shows. I also got a Paph. Sacred Dancer with 3 blooms. Cant wait for this to open up...  Stephen

Wow, Stephen, your paphs look lovely! Though I can imagine your frustration at having a bloom sitting there for 2 mths and not be opened yet. you're starting into your fall season in Australia, right? (having just acquired a paph myself; I'm wondering if fall is when paphs generally flower -- with exceptions, of course, lol)

Kmarch, im just taking it to the next table show at my local orchid club. I won best novice and orchid of the night with a vanda this month. Hopefully will win something next month. Yes, Australia is in Autumn now, and its been quite cold in Sydney for the past few days. Hopefully this wont affect the blooms this year

Some paph. species/hybrids from initial spike to flowering can take 6 months ++..

To answer Aprils question about what season paphs flower in, I find that although they can spike at just about any time of the year, it does seem like more of them spike in Autumn and flower in winter and spring.
