My new 'Favorite" paph

[Diane]

I received this as a seedling from BD and LJA over two years ago. As many of you know, I never do seedlings - I'm an instant gratification kind of gal. But I have kept it in my collection because of the wonderful friends who gave it to me. I had no idea how long it would take for it to bloom, or what it might look like. Well, now I know - AND I LOVE IT.

Paph. (gratrixianum 'Candor' CHM/AM/AOS x henryanum 'BK's Little Gem' AM/AOS)






I love the height of the bloom!

Very lovely! BD is in town today and I hope to get to meet him before he leaves!!

Wow! That went straight to my wish list!

Magnificent Diane!

Very nice color on that one. For me it feels special when a seedling grows then blooms in my care.

I have a few babies growing...I hope I do half as good as you with that one. Wow is that pretty and i'm not especially fond of the paphs and phrags. But with the colors and contrasts yours is a looker. Lucky You!

oh hide that hideous thing!!!! better still just send it to me!!!

o'course, knowing that quarantine laws won't permit it, I will just have to source one locally!

seriously though, that is a fantastic bloom! all that colour everywhere, you must be tickled pink!

Nice one, Thumb! All the nicer, given who the gifters are!

My henryanum just finished blooming. It's a great species - yours is a really nice cross. Much taller than the henryanum.

That is a beauty! Well worth the time it took to bloom from seedling. Nicely done!

[Mehera]

Really nice proportion between the height of the spike and the size of the plant--very pleasing. And the bloom itself is so unusual and pretty. Love it! What kind of culture do you give your complex paphs Diane? You are very successful at them.
