hi,

number 7 should be mastersianum

It does look very very similar with the big wide light mottled leafs and tall hairy bud, but no.

7 Looks very much like masti to me...

I thought so too when I saw it. But not a mastersianum.

 

[Hilmar]

ok...
then wentworthianum could be the other possibility....

 

[DrLeslieEe]

I wish I had that lol… but not that.

 

[dodidoki]

Close, but no.

ayubianum????

 

[Martin]

I thought so too when I saw it. But not a mastersianum.

Did the plant flowered previously? To me it looks pretty much like masti.

 

[dodidoki]

Papuanum my another tip.

 

[paphfreak]

mohrianum

 

[DrLeslieEe]

No it’s a first bloom… it could be wrong tag by mishandling so we shall it. You might be right in the end.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

mohrianum

Interesting proposition. But no.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

So number 7 just opened and Martin and Hilmar were right. It is a mastersianum after all. The plant/bud can’t fool you expert experienced growers lol!! I must have I mixed up the labels.

#7 pics:



Very small and very dark, with some transport bruising on the dorsal.

 

[dodidoki]

Interesting but very nice master!!!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Bud #4 is opening too:



Most of you were right… it’s charlesworthii fm. sandowiae (album) ‘Titan’ AM/AOS. So cute and stocky.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Bud #6 is just peeking out. Lots of hope on this one but the pouch is compressed on the sides. Let’s see if it corrects itself or needs help lol.



Paphiopedilum niveum selected by Paph Paradise few years back.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Here’s the niveum opened at NS 7.3 cm. Pouch still slightly compressed .
