Paph bellatulum

[Wendy]

This is my second bellatulum. I think i prefer the first one...it has a white background; this one has a more yellow background. Both are keepers though. I bought this from a fellow in B.C. last year as a single growth with a new start and it has made many new growths since then. Like my other bellatulum this one is very vigorous.

Very interesting flower shape and form! Looks great!

It is quite amazing how Paph. bellatulum and Paph. leucochilum can form a specimen so quickly! Do you have a picture of your other Paph. bellatulum?

Here you go Patrick. (white background)

And here's a close up of the yellow background one. Sorry it's a bit over exposed. (and fuzzy)

Both are very nice, in my opinion! The one with the white background looks great, the other is very un-typical and nice!

[Wendy]

Thank you! They're both keepers to me.

Lovely Wendy, both of them!

Interesting that the second one's spots are so much smaller. Almost looks like a hybrid.

I agree, check the leaf patterns. :wink: Nice plants.

Could it be conco-bellatulum?

or possibly P. Gratrix?
