Natural hybrid of P.micranthum

[cxcanh]

Nope, no malipoense in there.
It is glanzii, a natural version of Lola Bird, which is micranthum x emersonii.

It is a good one, too!

Canh, was this found in nature that you can say it is a natural hybrid or??
If yes, are these found as a population or some random plants here and there?

This found in nature, it was found as population (just some)

Then it could be a new species????

Oh stop!

The potential beginnings of one. Eventually natural hybrids swarms settle down to become new species if all goes well. I think new species are formed more this way than any other. It's quite fascinating to see it in action.

Paph. emersonii is pretty hairy. The hairs could be from emersonii. However, I know nothing about whether or not that is possible in the region where this flower was found. If emersonii is not found there now, could it possibly have been before it was discovered and wild plants collected?

Very pretty. Maybe someone should do it's genetics.

Good idea. You have my address.
