Had to show you this new acquisition

[Cheyenne]

When I want a plant I really try to hunt it down. Putting in calls, making some visits to some vendors. Usually with no luck. Just in case I always ask "if you happen to find one, give me a call". Nothing has ever come of that till now. Someone actually called and had one of those plants I had totally forgot about.
It happened to be paph Magic Lantern var album. It is from the same cross as the one Tom from Fox Valley has posted. I was so happy I had to show you even though I try not to post a plant without a bloom.

Now, thats a real find. Wish it was mine.

Bonus.. That's great. Can't wait for it to bloom.

 

[cnycharles]

well, congratulations and good luck flowering it!

now, what did it cost?

 

[wjs2nd]

Awesome, hard work pays off. It looks very healthy and a nice size.

Congrats! Hope it blooms true. Hope I can get mine someday soon.
I think i recognize the hand writing on the tag and it looks like its from the place i mentioned in the Magic Lantern album thread.

Looks nice! And I don't mind seeing a plant without a bloom. I love to see everyone's new aquisitions!

 

[Leo_5313]

Looking forward too see the bloom

 

[Ozpaph]

congrats on finding this rarity. looks healthy!

 

[Cheyenne]

Thanks, it does seem healthy. It is in a three inch pot and has a leaf span of about seven inches. It still has the Sherwood Orchids tag with it. I looked all over the plant and it has no sign of color on the undersides of the leaf or base of the plant. So I don't know if it will bloom true but I would be happy if it blooms out albanistic. Plus it at least has the album gene, so as soon as it blooms at a reasonable size I will try to self it. I would love to give some pollen to Tom so he can put it on his and get some more of these out there. I don't want to just keep it, I want to multiply it so other people can have some. As to how much it costs. I was happy to pay 45 dollars for it, and I am sure most of you would too.

 

[eggshells]

For 45 dollars. Its a steal! You should have gotten more

 

[goldenrose]

If there were more, he wouldn't have been on a 'if one shows up list'.
Nice purchase! The pressure is on to grow & bloom!

 

[tomkalina]

Looks like a strong, healthy seedling; I wish Sherwood Orchids was still in business. Please post a photo of the first bloom, and I'd be glad to trade pollen when and if.....
