I got some slippers yesterday!
Would you guys like to guess what it could be from a photo? It's in low bud, and it's from a division. There are two new fans growing, as well.
It is a species.
I've seen some threads with people naming/guessing paphs by the bud; I think that it's crazy that you guys can do that! Let me know if it's impossible, or if you need more hints.
The other two slippers I got were:
*Paph. Saint Swithin (rothschildianum 'Nextel' x philippinense 'Ching Hua #31' SM/TPS)
*Paph. philippinense ('Alfred' x 'Dr. Jones') two growths!
The Swithin came from Orchid Inn, I believe. They used a dark phil. with long petals.
The roth is from Japanese breeding? I'm not sure what it will look like, but I guess I got a Swithin... I'm still after a P. Berenice though.
I think that the philippinense species I got is from Hilltop's breeding; I also cannot find any info on the cultivars.
Anyways, yes I will be putting up more T5 lighting soon. They're under a 39W bulb, by a south window.
My phone makes the area look darker, sometimes.
