Friday orchid blogging

Oops, forgot. Well, we'll just pretend it's 13 minutes ago. This is the guy I posted to weeks ago, my Paph Charles Sladden - the one that was just opening. Well, he opened quite well, I think. There are two more buds growing now, so it should be in flower for quite a while - this flower is heading into its 3d week now.

Note: It's hard to capture the color correctly with a digital camera. The pouch color in the photo is a bit too psychedelic, the true color of the pouch is a bit more muted red, but the rest of the flower looks like that.
