Coming up on five months post flasking of this seedpod, Paph. Jennifer Stage frma. alba (godefroyae x philippinense) x leucochilum frma. album. I’m expecting albino flowers from this weird backcross of an intersectional Paph hybrid (Polyantha x Brachypetalum) crossed back to Brachypetalum. Backcrosses like this aren’t unheard of (think Paph. Frank Hughes, or Hadley Cash’s Paph. Dragon Lord) but as far as I know I don’t think these have been attempted with album plants. These have been exciting to watch grow!
