Nice video with great information. I’ve missed your videos. I do hope all is well in your world. Peace

[@AttainableGreen]

Thanks! It’s been busy but hoping to have new videos up soon! 😁

[@sergiol114]

Interesting tidbit on its history and rediscovery! Thank you and happy growing!

[@AttainableGreen]

Glad you liked it! Orchids have such interesting backgrounds and history...this one has a happy ending since we can enjoy it in cultivation while having it protected in its native habitat 😁

Your cat is a video star🤣😹 !!!! Great information about the care of your Paph delenatii, so gorgeous !!! Mine is not fragrant, unless they get the fragrance in future blooms (these were the very first). I have grabbed the link to this video and I am placing it in my description right now !!!! Thank you and have a great sunday 😍

[@AttainableGreen]

Haha my cat seems to know when I’m filming and has to jump in to steal the show 🤣

[@NinjaOrchids]

😻oooohh it is fragrant as well?? Now I feel the pressure to make her bloom 😅 my Lynleigh Koopowitz smells of Rasberry Pavlova, so... now that you are saying that the delenatii is also fragrant 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for letting me hop on with this CareCollab 😍 have a wonderful Sunday 🌸

[@AttainableGreen]

Yea! It has a nice rosy fragrance and it’s one of the parents of lynleigh koopowitz. 😁

Enjoyed your care collab video! Your plant looks great. Loved how kitty cat 🐈‍⬛ wanted to join in as well. She did her best to distract you!

[@AttainableGreen]

Lol thanks 😁

[@PetalsSepalsandSpines]

Oh, I've wanted one of these for a long time, buy stores around here have only had the Al form lately. Great video!

[@AttainableGreen]

Interesting! I think some nurseries rotate their stock so it feels fresh and new...maybe the reg variety may come in another time. Happy Growing! :)

[@MattbyNature]

I really hope to pick up a fragrant one

[@AttainableGreen]

Ooh! Hope so too! The fragrance is so nice, I find myself picking it up to smell it sometimes 🤣

[@MattbyNature]

[@sorryIdontGetIt]

Do you know how to make this paph bloom?

[@AttainableGreen]

When the fan (new growth) matures, it should send out a flower spike, bud, and bloom. Sometimes a drop in temperature at night can help initiate the flower spike during the cooler season of the year.
