3 clones of Paph. lowii fma. Aureum

[John M]

I saw a photo in a book over 20 yeara ago of what looked like a jungle lowii fma. Aureum. I wanted one so badly, it hurt. Finally, a few years ago, they started being available in the trade. WooHoo!!!!

Stunning! Love the paddles.

I was in the same boat JM. When I saw the pic, I loved it ... now I have 4! And one is in spike atm too.

How nice wide petals!!!Holy cow!!!

What a feast for the eyes seeing these beauties. I can't imagine a Paph lover who won't be fascinated by these flowers....or am I wrong? Great show and congrats, John.

Love the paddles. Maybe I need one....

 

[Guldal]

They are extremely gorgeous... and all three of them of a stunning quality!

Do you know their lineage/parentage?

Love those... when I went hunting for them about 2 months ago, it looked like only krull/Smith had them.... anyone spot them from other sources in the states?

These all originated from Sam. I think they're 'Albino Beauty' x self.

After seeing those photos, I want one badly as well. Just stunning. Are they as easy to grow as a normal lowii?

 

[John M]

Yes. In fact, they're very robust....fast growing and easy to bloom.

 

[Ozpaph]

My experience is that they are slower than 'normal' forms.

 

[blondie]

All look fantastic congrats
