Insigne Chantinii

[Bernhard Hilse]

Hello,
Here is a photo of my Insigne Chantinii. It is a very old, rare cultivar which I sourced from a very old connection. I think this orchard is rare in Australia. A lot of the old Insigne cultivars are extinct or very hard to find.
I think this is an extremely beautiful specimen. The old timer I sourced this plant from said 'the chantinii is like an uncut blood diamond hidden in a kangaroo's @#$%^&.'
Regards Bernhard

Very nice classic Paph. insigne.

That sounds hard to get!

I'm guessing they sedate the kangaroo and use gloves.

Nice to see that these old P. insigne cultivars are still alive an thriving.
Nowadays Paph insigne is alas a bit out of fashion but still worth to grow and it's flowers can compete to any other Paph !!

Best regards from Germany, GuRu
