    Default Paph spicerenium line bred

    Paph spicerenium line bred in bloom. Near flat dorsal is not very appealing though but looks like that is what the line bred culture wanted?

    It is very pretty. I like this broader dorsal over the type.

    Very cool Sriram! It reminds me of my sons poison dart frog peeking out of his mini bromeliad

    I love it. They want that look when it comes to Paphs, Sriram. But as we all know, some of the Paphs such as niveum will never even come close to a flat dorsal and it shouldn't be.

    It is an interesting and debatable point about this too. When is a species plant not a true example of the species ? I have heard very heated discussions about plants like this when paphanatics get together... May have been guilty myself too ( of getting hot under the collar ).
