What a great display....this plant with compact leaves bears 8 wonderful flowers at the same time. Congrats!
What I'm wondering all the time is.....how do you distinguish P. coccineum album from P. barbigerum album?
GuRu, there are some signs to distinguish these. .........................I have albine forms of both of them, coccineum as well as barbigerum. The grow nearly side by side, but barbigerum doesn't like as much light as coccineum does..........
Yes, the Paph on the picture is one plant. I think I have this one for more then ten years, but I don't remember exactly. From time to time I make a division for selling. But it is a rare thing ...I always think I don’t care for albums. Then I see this. Whoa. How old is this plant? This is one plant? Not multiple seedlings?
Thanks a lot for your explanation. If you accept of both being true species, which seems to be the state at the moment, you have to accept that there are two different albine forms. And I was asking because I thought you showed P. barbigerum album here already before?
What a gorgeous display, Chris! A gloriously well grown, specimen plant - kudos in spades!
Is this your plant with the slightly reddish hairs at the base of the staminode?
Best regards, Jens
By the way, what is the exact meaning of albine?
Album but not quite completely?? It's a bit confusing.
These lovely flowers look like album at a first glance, but upon closer look, the hairs near the center of the flowers are dark.
So....what exactly is albine? I've never heard of such a term.
