A Few New Buds

Got this Paph. Delrosi a few months ago without flower but soon after that two flower spikes started to develop and now it is a beautiful specimen. Took it down from its growing area this morning to take this picture cos its growing area is a bit dim in the morning. See pics below.








The small pic on the left show its shady growing area while the pic on the right shows a juicy new root. Hope the snails don't find it juicy too.
Somehow i have a feeling this Maudiae type bud (above) is not going to make it as well cos all my maudiae buds blasted recently. Keeping my fingers crossed though.

This is the almost ready-to-open bud of another plant of Paph. spicerianum. My spicerianums are going crazy now. Another plant is going to have three flowers soon.

This is a Paph. fairrieanum plant producing a flower spike for the first time. Must be the cool nights. Hope it is the green alba form.
(Too bad the flower stalk was broken by something yesterday(3/9/2009). Cannot be sure of the cause cos sometimes the squirrel comes running through or a tree frog may have snapped it.)
