Blooming Paph Magic Rainbow and Paph appletonianum

[evleaves]

This is Magic Rainbow's first bloom, and another bud is forming behind it. Appletonianum bloomed for the first time last summer and opened its second in March. Magic Rainbow is Magic Paradise x liemianum, or 87% liemianum according to Paph Paradise. Both plants were from Paph Paradise and they're such nice, good-growing plants. They grow under LEDs, though appletonianum needs some adjusted accommodations when blooming because the spike is verrrry tall.

It's only a matter of time before they displace the true species in judging and breeding like we've already seen in spicerianum and primulinum.

I have this appletonianum from Paph Paradise as well. Is this not an actual species?

Ah! Thanks

I had the same question because “Magic Rainbow” looks so much like the species.
