    Paph.armeniacum 'Orchid Court' CCM/AOS with eight inflorescences. As spring and winter fight a tug of war here in Ohio, spring is winning in the greenhouse with this cheerful display of bright yellow like a mini sun. Eight inflorescences on a 50+growth plant, this plant lifts my spirits every time I see it! Grown up high in the GH for maximum light, kept moist in a fine bark mix in a 10" plastic basket lined with sheetmoss, this plant goes outdoors after winter is done, for a hot summer and a cold fall, staying out til the nights have stayed around 40ºF as long as possible. It did not repeat its performance from two years ago, when 2 spikes were bifloral (last pic).
