paph ( angthong x leucochilum) x godefroyae

[P.K.Hansen]

A lot of leucochilum in there. First time bloomer I bought from Karge a year ago. Still in a 5 cm pot.
I just love these types.
I hope it'll open up a bit more next time.

And the shot Jens is going to ask for anyway

not surprising it looks like a leuco. Nice flower

 

[Don I]

Nice.

Thank you for the in-toto pic!

And, actually, I like it, when the flower is slightly cupped, as is yours...well knowing it goes against the at-the-moment-in-fashion-trend in breeding/judging (bigger, flatter, darker).

Some taxonomist would probably describe the cross as godefroyae x godefroyae x godefroyae (e.g. Cribbs' treatment of godefroyae, leucochillum and ang-thong in his survey of the genus)

Kind regards from your likewise paphioholic compatriote! Jens

I like it. Looks like a healthy, well grown plant. Mike

Ups, I forgot to comment on the culture: looks very well grown!

Nice but, how do you know this is not just godefroyae?

 

[P.K.Hansen]

I can only refer to the label that came with the plant. But I have no problem with "just" godefroyae
