My paphiopedilum (QF Spacewalk) flower spike is opening! This is the first flower the plant has produced. Super excited to finally see what the flower looks like. I purchased the plant at an orchid show back in April and had no idea what it was going to look like 😊
What a gorgeous wine coloring! Congratulations. It’s a beautiful bloom.
3 Mi piace Thank you 😊 Do you think the top petal will become more upright as the flower blooms more or is this flower fully open? The hairs on the side petals are so interesting and weird. Really unique plants 🙂

Looks like it opened a little bit more for you, but each variant of these hybrids, and sometimes each individual can behave differently. Your best bet, and my habit is to make note of the behavior of some of my orchids, so I have that information to go off of for each individual for their next blooming cycle.
