Hope it takes!!!

It took last year. Hope it germinates!

That is so cute!!!
I think I see seven flowers, not six.

I'm not familiar with this, but I thought these were pure white?
Then, again, I guess it can be pure white or marked just like niveum.

You really have the knack on growing these things. Congratulations.

Amazing, most blooms on a thaianum I have ever seen, what a lovely clone as well!

Good point, John. I discussed this with experienced orchidist here too. There are good points for both sites but more signs for it being an 'improved' species IMO.
..........
So IMO this plant is within the variation of the species but at the edge - the top edge
To be honest, I don't love this Paph for being a species but for its wonderful flowers. And even if it would be an hybrid it would be an exceptional one!

I librate between it's being a straight thaianum or a F1 hybrid.
The features of pro thaianum are the foliage (as far I can see it) and I think I can see these purple spots inside the pouch. The rest of the flower doesn't look like a straight thaianum. But who knows? And the scent unfortunately I have an oldfashioned computer without a build in scent transmission.

LOL! Time to upgrade! :rollhappy:

An exceptional plant in all regards. You can't grow and flower a paph much better than this.

That's is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This plant stumps me. Obviously well grown but it does seem off a bit. Or different at the least. The staminode looks unusual as well.

Can anyone please tell me if the green staminode species comes from a different area than the yellow ones?

 

[SlipperFan]

I 'sibed' it.

Good thinking!

I'm wondering about that, also.

 

[Stone]

If that is the true species, it certainly the best example I have ever seen

Unfortunately, the pic I took at the green stage is really bad, but seemingly the same area as far as I remember. And if it's the same batch of plants from Fibre

They start green and then turns yellow as it age. Also photos can interpret them as yellow while in person. It is green/yellow green.

Wow that is wonderfully grown.

Great specimen mini:clap:

Amazingly well grown and bloomed! Mine has grown maybe 4cm in one year...
