Paph. concolor x sib ('Spotty' x 'Dudley Ott' AM/AOS)

[Shadow]

It's a first time bloomer. And it is my first bloom of the paph specie. Sorry for many photos. It is always a problem for me to make a nice photo of the plant. So, I'm very proud of myself because this time I needed only five photo sessions to make decent photos that I can show on public.

Thanks, Marco! You were so quick with response.... you've missed last three photos. The colour on the white background looks a bit different and more tender. I've got it from Sam (Orchidinnusa)

What's it growing in?

Bark, charcoal, sphag moss, perlite, volcanic rock, marble, basalt.

 

[NYEric]

marble? Never seen that before.

Very nice ... I really need to get one !

 

[SlipperFan]

I just realized we have sibs. Interesting that they are blooming at the same time.

Late update... The second blooming of the same plant last July. I'm glad that it has improved.

Reminded me the tale about ugly duckling.

very very nice one this time!!! Jean

 

[Elena]

That's quite a drastic improvement. Very nice!

All these concolors have inspired me to pre-order one for the CDOS Paph symposium. THanx for posting. Did you ever get the concolor v. longipet...?

Goldenrose, JeanLux, Elena, NYEric, thanks for comments!

Eric, I haven't got var. longipetalum, but I'm going to add this var. to my collection this year. One more var. that I have is var. chlorophyllum, but I've bought it recently and it hasn't bloomed yet.
