Paph. charlesworthii

[SlipperFan]

I have two of these with the same parents (‘Top Hat’ x ‘Pink Blush’), each from a different vendor. The other plant is still too small to bloom

I'm a bit disappointed in this one, as the dorsal recurved after it opened fairly flat. Sigh.

It might be a lot better when it blooms on a multi growth plant. Its good enough that I'd keep watering it for another year or two to see how it changes.

 

[SlipperFan]

Thanks, Leo. OK -- will do.

Well, the pouch color is certainly yummy -what a rich color. Better luck on the dorsal for the next bloom.

OH!!! I don't know Dot that looks pretty darn good to me, it's actually better then the one I own. Thanks.. Jim.

I love it! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Yup Try it again Dot.

Not only is it young, but it's an odd time of year for this species to be blooming (unless you're in Australiaoke

I think it just tried too hard to make it on this growth.

No sign of mine flowering yet. But I agree it is a strange time to be flowering in the northern hemisphere. The bottom half of the flower is fantastic. Lets hope the top half improves in future flowerings.

unusual look for a charlesworthii, but nice colors!!! Jean

Not that bad-2nd flowering will be better

 

[goldenrose]

It looks good to me. Isn't this rather typical for the species? We may have to accept for now, give it time, it will change!

Normally the dorsal sepal does not reflex back. This one almost makes it seem like there is a hint of spicerianum in the background.

Hopefully the dorsal will improve on the second flowering. I love the staminode of this species but I only just noticed the colouration/pattern of the ovary and stem. Wow, funky

It looks good to me Dot. It's like others have said, timing of the bloom.

I wonder also if it's because I cut back a bit on water -- I read it's supposed to be drier in Dec. & Jan.

Probably no effect, that's my guess.
