Hello,
My wife surprised me today with early Christmas presents! Three plants from Hausermann's:
Paph villosum x villosum "Gold Treat" (the webpage says these are selfed crosses)
Paph spicerianum "Saint Albans" x self
Paph Bill Eilau (Duncan York "Good Show" x Winston Churchill "Indomitable")
Anyone know anything about the "Gold Treat" villosum? I thought I got a 2 growth plant, but as it turns out its a big and little brother together in the same pot. Nice to know I didn't get the runt of the cross, but a good plant (and a little runt extra).
The spicerianum is in flower and the flower is opening. It is a bit small but the color is very intense and this is the first flowering. I will post photos when it opens more (if it doesn't blast). Lovely multigrowth plant. Must be about 4 or 5 growths.
Nothing much to report on the complex. It is good size seedling with good roots. I'm hopeful for flowers next Christmas. Can't find any pics of the Duncan York. I see the cross was originally made back in the 1970s (registered in 1980). Not sure what to expect but from crosses made from Duncan York I have high hopes.
Can't say I was looking to purchase any more plants until the spring so this was a great surprise.
