Paphiopedilum stonei var. alba 'Formosa' CHM/TPS

I have been looking for this for quite some time and am hoping someone out there has something bigger than a "seedling" in a 5" pot.
I am really looking for something blooming size or close to..

thanks

make that 2!!! Or infact: if there's a source somewhere, I'd take 2 of them, but I'm inclined to echo my fore-speaker by wishing for an adult plant...., only: I'd be happy enough with a near enough adult in a 5" pot!

Hanoke's plant was awarded in 1999, and selfed right after that. The offsprings will be FS by now, even if slow growing.

5" pot seems pretty good to me, surely better than 2 1/2"!

i saerch also for stonei album.

for me it is equal how big they are

So far all the supposed seedlings either died, or when they bloomed they were never stonei album. Some of the bigger ones were plain stonei (Bear select x self seedlings looked exactly identical at that time). It is a mystery if any real seedling has ever been made. There has been a few divisions sold, that's all. Four years ago I have been offered blooming size selfings again in Taiwan, by three sellers. They were big blooming size indeed, I did not buy, but either none bloomed, which would be suspicious, or they were not stonei album.

I'd take one any size!

ive seen a few bloomed out at my friends nursery. most of them are a bit weaker growers and bloomers than a typical stonei and on several the form was rather poor and smaller flowers. i know he did get one good one out of them, i will check to see about availability of others. i think i remember seeing a really nice one awarded by TPS fairly recently also...
