Buds, buds, buds and more buds

[Marc]

I would have cut the dorsal free. Hope the next one is normal.

I cut the complete flower today, when taking a look at the picture and compare it to Rosettii pictures on the net I get the feeling that dorsal is split und fused with the petals but split in an asymetrical way.

Yes but I would have guesstimated where the dorsal would have ended and cut it so the bloom wasn't pulled apart. there is a strain of besseae that unfortunately was used in a lot of breeding. the progeny exhibit the trait of the leaves not opening up from the central spine vein!! this means you have to cut the foliage for the plant to grow!!!

1: NOID, the new flower and growth are developing very well. Hope it will open soon.

Close up of the bud

2: NOID, isn't going as fast as the first one but also emerged a bit from the crown and there is a start of a new growth to be seen at the bottom were the remains of the brown leaf are.

3: Paph. Rosettii, the next bloom looks to have developed itself quite well. Will post photo's in the photography section soon.

Coming along nicely! Keep us posted.

Nr. 2: may be henryanum

As far as I can tell plant 1 and 2 are the same. Shape, colour and pattern of leaves is the same. Shape and colour of the bud / sheath is similar as well.

Time will tell.

Coming along nicely! Keep us posted.

Will do

Two of the four plants have their own topic now in the photography section:

Paph. philippinense var. laevigatum : http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=302472#post302472

Paphiopedilum Rosettii : http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=302470#post302470

I will keep updating this topic with the progress of the other buds and I might even add some more as they form. :wink:

 

[Marc]

No1 has opened it's flower and I'll share it with you guys in the coming days.

But I've got another plant that's showing something new:

Probably a villosum but I'm not 100% sure. I'll keep you all updated.

And again there are new buds showing in my collections

One of my insignes decided to throw one out, didn't notice it forming so I was quite surprised that it was allready that big.

My Paph. Nitens is also showing a new sheat.

And to my great surprise I spotted the following sheat forming in the regular venustum that I purchased last monday.
