I assume that would be Centigrade and not Fahrenheit... which would make sense. At 10-12C (50-55F), which can occur in Durban in winter, my phals become deciduous and drop their leaves. JL

👏👏👏

That is certainly different - love that elongated pouch... JL

Hi Big923 Do you have a name - my search through the RHS App proved fruitless. Thanks JL

Not a great pic of the plant at the Paph Symposium in June '23. There should be better pictures in the SA Orchids journal which is currently in print. JL

A well-deserved CCM! JL

Love the dorsal. JL

Leslie It does look odd, but the staminode looks correct in my opinion (I'll defer to the taxonomists on this point). If it does prove to be a 4N, it would make a great parent plant. JL

Super!

My 2N's don't stand a chance 😂 The 3rd pic is amazing... JL

Been offline for a while... interesting comments to read through... But to the uninitiated, can somebody explain to me where does Paph. godefroyae var ang-thong fit in... I have a couple of plants labelled as such and they are alba forms - that is, pure white with no spotting on the pouch. :)...

This is an interesting thread - and I would agree with what has been said above. I grow all my multiflorals in the brightest part of the north facing shade-house (Southern hemisphere) and they are bathed in full sun all day. Even through the shade cloth is at 70%, in summer you still bake when...

👍 Fully agree Jens

Stunning, stunning flower!! Colour, solid dark pouch, petal width, it ticks the boxes!!... I hope you can figure out what it is? I can't help thinking that this crossed onto a black/dark godefroyae or bellatulum would give HS Wild Cat a run for its money. JL

I used to show Weimaraners... and I thought it was a race to the bottom of the intelligence ladder between them and Irish Setters in the gundog group... :) But would still never trade them in for any other breed... They kind of addictive like paphs... :cool: JL
