Paph. concolor

[Barbara]

A seedling that I bought last year has it's first bloom, I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I didn't know concolor would bloom at such a young age, now I'm thinking that it will be an impressive plant if it makes it to maturity.

Here's an image taken outdoors in the shade:

hey... your concolor looks suspiciously similar to my wenshanense... let me post some pics for comparison:

That first photo is my favourite, that one looks superb.

Looks award quality to me but what do I know......;-)

Lovely, I think one of my maude noids is going to have to make space for one of these.
Thanks,

Award quality, thanks. I've never done that kind of thing, I'm just an amateur grower but thanks for the compliment.

Nice pictures paphioboy, they do look very alike, the parents of mine are 'Spotty' x 'Dudley Ott' AM/AOS. Do you know the parentage of yours by chance? Maybe one of the species experts around here can fill us in, but I believe wenshanense is another name for the natural cross conco-bellatulum.

Very nice concolor. Good shape and color.

I agree, very nice!

I really like all of the above.:clap:

 

[toddybear]

Stunning!

 

[goldenrose]

I'll have to get me a concolor!

OrchidNorth, my plant is from wild-collected plants... so i guess it is wenshanense...

Thanks for all the kind reply's! So far this little fella is one of my fav's in the collection, definitely worth adding to any collection. We recently found a leucochilum that should flower within the year too, as long as I don't do anything stupid.

Paphioboy, I just found your thread on the wenshanense, very facinating reading. Sorry I missed it originally, wasn't around here much at the time. You have taken very good care of it and should be proud. :clap:
