Paph appletonianum fma ?

[WolfDog1 (C. Williams)]

Here is my Paph appletonianum. It appears to be an albine flower with a brown inflorescence. It also has very small darker spots on the petals. You can see them if you look at the 'actual' size of he pictures below. Olaf may be able to clarify if this is fma album or just appletonianum, but I still really like it. It has just opened today, so it may open a little more.

Enjoy,

Craig

I'm hating imagesh!t popups!

These smaller shots are awesome! I'm having trouble with imageshack. I love the coloring.

 

[SlipperFan]

That's really nice. The petals, especially.

Imageshack always takes forever to load, even with a fast connection.

I don't know if it's a pure albine form, but really a nice flower and great pics!

Craig,
Near-alba but very special. It must be one in a million. Don't loose it!

Craig, congrats to this superb flower - I would write forma albescense on the tag. So far as I know fm. albescense allows these small reddish spots on the flower.

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

Craig,

This one would be consider "albescens" which is the common term for "almost" albinistic flowers that have a bit of anthocyanin expression. My guess is that a selfing might produce true albino flowers.

Why? Albums and albs crossed w/ regulars are readily available.

 

[SlipperKing]

Eric, Albums X onto regs doesn't mean albescens

 

[NYEric]

OK; but if they've got albums and albums x'd by regulars I would think you'd get some albascens!?
