    Default One of the old ones - Paph Conspicuum

    Here is a Paph that has been around for a long time. I think its a piece of the original crossing as I know of no-one who would remake the cross for any reason I can think of.
    Its Paph Conspicuum, = Harrisianum x villosum & reg's around 1888.
    I may have posted the pic before, cant remember but I can say the plant likes flowering.

    I get your point, but still it is a nice flower, not brilliant but still beautiful.

    I guess I must be brain-dead! Cause I think it is very beautiful in form and color. It is different than other paphs I've seen... not that I've seen that many! And you said, Roy, you didn't want it anymore because it is just "so so".... I'll pay, you box it!!!!!!
