Paph. Black Diamond

[Barbara]

Paph. Black Diamond (fairrieanum x delenatii) Bought it as a medium seedling last year and it has a bloom already, looks like it's promising to be a good performer.

Oh that's one of the nicest ones I've seen. If you get tired of it I'll take it.

It's beautiful. I have one but it is lighter than yours. It is one of my favorites and it stays in bloom forever...well almost.

 

[Barbara]

Thanks both! It was a little darker than this when it first opened a couple weeks ago. I just took this shot today, so I'm hoping that it doesn't lighten up anymore.

Hey Eric, it came from Cloud's and I believe that they do ship across the boarder. There's that $50 min. order, but a person could live with that.oke: :evil:

Trust me they won't ship what I want across the border. Now that I need to renew my passport just to go to Canada I'm not going there for a while. However, next time I go there I'm bringing some nice stuff back. BTW $50 I spend on shipping alone monthly!

Very nice photo and flower! My P. Black Diamond is also in bloom now.

Now when I compare the two photos it almost look like the same flower!

Very nice, is beautiful.

 

[SlipperFan]

Beautiful! Maybe mine will bloom someday.

 

[Ron-NY]

very pretty, too bad the pouch didn't turn out solid pink.

 

[toddybear]

Both beauties! A friend of mine has this one but his is much darker than either...and not as nice!

This was my Black Diamond after it had been in bloom for over 2 months. The color was lighter than yours but it still was a beauty.

Cheers,

I agree, I have never seen 2 type flowers look so similar!

 

[Barbara]

They are very similar Magicboy. I like this one for it's compact size too, and flowering for two months...amazing!

I've no idea why it's called Black Diamond.

 

[NYEric]

Because that's what the hybridizer named it.
