A few more Paphs

[emydura]

Just catching up on some of my current/recently flowered Paphs. Now I'm just waiting on some of my multi-florals to flower. Looks like I will have a few this season.

Great pics and flowers but I like the Glaucopar most.

Great photos of some very nice plants! :clap:

 

[poozcard]

superb gratrix!!!

 

[paphioboy]

Wow......That gratrixianum is growing super! Where did you get the Glaucopar from, David? Nicky Z?

 

[polyantha]

That's the best parishii hybrid I have seen so far. Congr@s!!

 

[Ernie]

All are fabulous! Glaucopar and gratrixianum especially!

Take a look at the Glaucopar and compare it to parishii (like the one thelink recently posted). This is an excellent example of how glaucophyllum can really boost red tones in hybrids! I love it. Brown + brown + pink = RED. That's my kind of math.

glaucopar and gratrixianum are both absolutely spectacular!!!

 

[biothanasis]

Fantastic blooms and photos!!!!!

I love the gratix. Is it a big plant? From the picture, it looks compact.

Thanx for sharing.

I've never even heard of Paph Glaucopar before, but I love it. I really do.

Wow David, don't know what to praise more - the lovely photos or the lovely blooms. P. gratrixianum and the P. Glaucopar are stunning - congrats.

 

[Wendelin]

Photography and plants are just stunning! :drool:

Thanks. I got the Glaucopar from a guy called Rob Pollock. He has a small orchid nursey on the south coast of NSW. It may well have been his own breeding as I know he has parishii in his collection.

I love the gratix. Is it a big plant? From the picture, it looks compact.

No, it is quite compact really although it does multiply fairly rapidly so you can end up with a big plant pretty quickly. A lot smaller than say villosum. Of the Paphs species I have grown, it is by far the easiest to grow and flower. It is a weed really. A great plant for beginners I think.

Nice gratrix(s) love the color on the glaucopar but not crazy about the dorsal reflex. Super duper PICs!

 

[W. Beetus]

The first one is great! Stunning blooms!

 

[JeanLux]

Excellent pics of class blooms again!!!! All are great, esp. the gratrix.s (mine is showing up with 2 mini spikes)!!! Jean

I agree with you on the dorsal Rick. If not for the colour I probably would have got rid of it ages ago. Pity the dorsal doesn't stay flat as in the 2nd flower.
