Paph. helenae forma aureum is now flowering on my windosill. The coloured helenaes are in low bud and still need some time to flower.
I like this form very well, but they don't strech their petals. :( They are always loking like helding their pouch.

gorgeous!!! I love Paph helenae, and teh aureum form is (IMO) just fantastic...
 
If you hate it so much I'll give it a good home. I LOVE the petals embracing the pouch. I'm so tired of the attitude that every flower must be flat and round to be good. Why can't we enjoy things in 3 dimensions?
 
Very, very nice!! Love your blooms. The teacup presentation is a cute idea!!Very adorable!

You are right Kirk! I like three dimensional flowers, too! For example Ross' Paph Memnon. http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14203
Paphs are not only made to be photographed from a front view!
Sure, I like this helenae a lot! I would like it even moore, if it wouldn't held down his patals so much.
 
Oh please invite me over for tea one day. :)

I wonder when someone will put a big complex red's pollen onto one of these and try breed teacup complexes. Imagine a tea cup (or coffer mug if you prefer) full of lovely little red bulldogs.

Fibre, that is a lovely flower on a wonderful plant and the potting is an excellent idea. Next time I visit a flea market I will watch out for some old tea cups and drill some holes in them. My helenae is going into a pretty tea cup ASAP.
 
Love these :drool::drool:,

Does anyone have the delicata form, or any information about it. There is a photo in the latest Orchid Digest and I just love the pink color, but haven't really heard anything about it.
