    Smile New Paphs

    I went shopping yesterday and picked up these two new noid paphs. I am totally enchanted with them at the moment. :-)

    Plus, one of them came sharing a pot with a separate plant, also a paph, but with clearly different leaves, so I think I actually got 3 new plants. The third isn't blooming though, so I get a surprise later, too! :-)

    WOW! love a good Paph. shop-up! he he...
    Just had one of those myself!
    Ok, the first one I can get back to you on, I can look at our database at work and perhaps give you an answer, the second looks very much like the pink form of "Deperle".
    I personally have the pure white form, but yours is lovely.
    Love a Paph lover!! he he
    Great shopping trip...keep them up.
    ** lucky me G/house is at the front of our home...I can always sneak the new "additions" in unnoticed... MWWhahahah

    Thanks, for the tip, I had seen a pic of Deperle and did think it looked quite similar! And any other tips on names are greatly appreciated, though I don't really expect to know anything definitive.

    Great purchases. 2 for 3 is a good deal too especially for such cuties.

    beautiful purchases...

    I wouldn't be too quick to label it deperle since many cochlopetalum x delenatii can look like that... such as gina short

    Update: I was under the impression that the "De Perle"-like paph was a sequential bloomer. It certainly looks like the other sequential I have.

    Funny though, the first spike currently has 3 (!!) open flowers and the second spike 1. A third spike is in its first stages, too. :-)
