A new "instant gratification" acquisition, courtesy of Forrest, who was kind enough to find a killer plant up for sale and send it my way.



Registered in 1960, Paph. Darling is a lovely paph hybrid that results from crossing the primary hybrid Madame Martinet (callosum x delenatii) onto lawrenceanum. The grex is renowned for its unique smooth pink coloration, and many clones have made their way into the general circulation. Paph. Darling is an exceptionally vigorous grower, and is generally much easier to bloom than its Madame Martinet parent.
