P. species or Pinocchio ?

[werner.freitag]

2 flowering plants without names
I definitely never ordered a Pinocchio , but I am confused with this group
thank you for comments

 

[Paphluvr]

The first one looks like a straight Paph. primulinum to me, not so sure about the second one.

Ask them some pointed questions. If the staminode grows then you know it's Pinocchio.

Sorry, best advice I can give.

I agree with first one being primulinum, could the second be P. victoria-mariae or a hybrid thereof?

Werner, I think he was joking.....referring to the growing nose of Pinocchio when lying.

I agree with the first presumption of being Paph. primulinum but disagree completely with ths second presumption. The second flower could be Paph. Pinocchio....or not, maybe a light Paph. glaucophyllum ? Which colour have the leaves ?
Werner best is, write Paph. spec. on the tag and you are always right.

 

[Mr.Roland]

The first one is very similar to my primulinum from Akerne /Belgium

 

[SuperPaph]

This is my Pinochio:

Rudolf, thank you !
Thought I was missing something .
April 1st is over, but I like a good joke anytime , Tyrone .

I never bought a Pinocchio , but who knows ?
So Pinocchio and glaucophyllum look very similar to me . Ok. another P. spec.

Have a good weekend !

 

[Lucienne]

According to my observations, Pinocchio are very different. And I also agree that it is difficult to find a difference with glaucophyllum. And my primulinum, for example, is very small. Joint photo for comparison.

 

[werner.freitag]

I agree.
My primulinum is small , too.
