Show me your leaves!

I just love the leaves of this niveum.


Who has better ones? Lets see'em!

The green looks really dark, and the pattern very distinct. No wonder you love them!

Nice. At the Paph Forum they had a best foliage class. I am going to post some photos of some of my plants that have nice foliage.

I like niveum foliage but that is probably my 4th. 1st will be delenatii vini (scribble pattern) and 2nd will be canhii (I love the checkered pattern).

Delenatii vini is nice but, I like bellatulum album!

Bellatulum album is nice but, I like that of my concolor !

Ok buddy! Tonight we photo!!

Those are beautifully patterned leaves for niveum.

They look more like bellatulum or even delenatii.

My niveum has mostly solid dark green leaves with white spots.

Venustum has beautiful leaves!

Ooooo...I am a big leaf fan (no pun intended:rollhappy too!!!

The vinicolor delenatii gets my vote for prettiest leaves. I'll post a picture when I finally get one next Saturday.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. All I see is words! Come on folks start PIC-n-me!

I'll play

urbanianum


tortipetalum


Oeceoclades spathulifera - a Madegascar plant you don't see every day.


micranthum type eburnum, this one is supposed to be from the original Chinese location from which the form was described. Bought it 20+ years ago, finally in bud after a near death set back quite a few years ago. Glad it is finally healthy. Flower pictures soon.


malipoense the normal form


variation on malipoense - (malipoense x jackii alba) flowers have pigment, I bloomed it before, the selfing of the flower is what will be interesting.


Hoya species name hasn't been determined, findleysonia-callistophylla complex. It comes from the Indonesian province of Kalimantan on Borneo. Not too far from Paph stonei habitat.


delenatii forma vinicolor ('Dunkle') seedlings from Ernie G. Enlightened Orchids


I only have 5 Nepenthes, but they are all really interesting ones, originally from Tom Heller. This is a seedling from select highly colored parents, and it turned out pretty good, I have never seen an alata hybrid with this much color. The maxima parent must have been something.
Nepenthes (alata x maxima)

That Madagascar plant is wild Leo, nice and don't forget the Hoya!

Nearly all my leaves (except the hanging ones )


A closer look (one of my favourites is the supposed javanicum/virens at the right corner, back row with silvery leaves) - others in the same pic are barbatum (one at the back and one mini front centre), bellatulum and a few Maudiae types..


Back row: Lovesong (acmodontum x suk), callosum/suk, lawrenceanum, Middle row: Vini Maudiae type, Front row: barbatum, superbiens, callosum

A more recent pic: Barbatum mini in spike and Maudiae types around it..

Very nice leaves you have there people! I love mottled leaves, which is why I have most barbata type Paphs.

Leo Schordje: Interesting, I have what is supposed to be a normal variant of malipoense, but the foliage looks more like you variant (malipoense x jacki alba). That's strange I suppose...

javanicum/virens ..........excellent!!

Leo, those leaves are unusually large on the micranthum v. eburneum. have you bloomed it out? BTW, if we're dong non-slippers I have a collection of jewel orchids! oke:





superbiens v. curtsii and appletonianum v. hainanense

Nice foliages Eric !
I'm just wondering, how your Paphs do manage it to survive on your gas stove ?
BTW the foliage of my P. violascens I showed in another thread ain't bad neither.
