Paphiopedilum "Presidential Wonder" in bloom
I saw the flower and couldn't resist buying it! It's a hybrid between Paphiopedilum "Fred's Wonder" and Paphiopedilum "Presidential Moon" which are themselves hybrids of hybrids.
I bought it from Emerald City Orchids in Tacoma, Washington.
Nice! I can't seem to get mine to bloom.
Unfortunately can't help you there as this one was in bloom when I got it :)
Has yours grown additional side growths? As far as I understand each fan of leaves only blooms once, then the side growths have to mature and those will each bloom once and so on.
It has done that once, good to know. I'm in a rather dry climate so I suspect that I need to not let it get so dry between watering. It doesn't seem to want to send out roots or blooms.
