Paph. bellatulum ‘Despereaux’

[papheteer]

Bought as a yellow bellatulum from Sam years ago. Blasted 3 times before giving me this one. Well it’s not yellow but it’s big and I love the droopy petals and crisp spots! Any bellatulum that wants to live for more than a few years is welcome in my collection!

Fantastic! By “yellow bellatulum,” do you mean concolor? Sam was awash in those, for a time.

He said the parents are yellow bellatulums. Pure bellatulums. They had “yellow” clonal
Names

I think I remember that listing where he descibed the goal for the cross was for yellowish bellatulum.
I love yellow flowers so I thought about getting some, but never did.
I thought about crossing a bellatulum and my spotless wenshanense aureum. I am in search of a nice belltulum to use, though.

This is a really pretty bella .... well done.

I wonder what the offsprings would look like

I wonder what the offsprings would look like

I guess there's only one way to find out!
I'll update in a few years. Hopefully with happy results!

At the very least you get normal conco-bellatulums which are very pretty and not often sold anymore

Looks like a white conco-bellatulum to me or a (conco-bell x bell) ...
