Paph delenatii, barbatum, niveum

[JeanLux]

As already said in previous posts, I am not happy with thew shape of my delenatii this year, but I got a rather favorable easter-shot of it today, so here a pic:



Here a first bloom for a plant that I bought as barbatum!?



and my niveum with a bit wrong oriented pouch :

All very nice. Not sure your niveum is a niveum though??? Looks like it might have some concolor in it??? Cilantro pattern in the leaves? Lots of spots? Inverted Y form? Will compare it to ours later.

I agree, Ernie. Nice flowers, but I doubt the one is straight niveum -- too many spots.

Very nice. It is good to see a barbatum.

I agree on the niveum. It looks a bit too beefy as well.

Do you question the identification of your barbatum? It seems typical to me.

And I have to agree with others who see concolor influence in your niveum. Looks like Doctor Jack to me.

I had all of those blooming a 1st time for me and they look(ed) very similar !

And thanks all for the 'niveum' hint! Jean

Love the flowers, hope the identity of the last one is cleared up. It doesn't look quite like niveum to me either. But I don't see many at shows.

To me Jean the dorsal on the niveum(?) is way too large for niveum. Unless it's some newly discovered varient like concolor v. longisepalium then I have to agree with the others. Something is in the mix!
