Paph. philippinense var. laevigatum

[orcoholic]

It's pure phillippinense var. lavigatum?? Looks like the color is way too pale. It looks like Yellow Tiger or cross with stonei. But it's very nice. How long is the petals?

That's what the tag says. I thought it was light too, but looking through the awarded philippinenses, there are some that color.

Hi Michael, this is an absolute cracker of a paph! Good display and definitely worth the wait.

Is it ok to get a close up of the flowers please? The colouration is unusual for a Paph philippinense and a close up may reveal a little more about it's identity.

cheers

I called the vendor on this one and he told me they had a problem with the labeling.

It is not a straight phil. v. laevigatum. It's phil. v. laevigatum x (phil v. laevigatum x kolopakingii v. topperri). I believe philippinense x kolopakingii is Paph. Temptation.

Well, they named that one right-I'm definitely tempted .

What a lovely display !

Temptation, indeed! Although the philippinense, rothschildianum & sanderianum crosses are not the paphs I like the most, they are the ones I admire the most. Great blooming & growing.

Cheers,
