Well. The plant you´re about to see is not a registered hybrid (not even a beautiful flower), but as it´s the second Paph. I purchased it deserves its own thread.
Despite its appearance I care for this plant because it is very forgiving. I use it to pre-test all the changes I do in the rest of my paphs. (new fertilizers, new mixes, new watering schedule...)
Moreover, it has huge flowers and sends long stems (that I love). But those petals are so ugly...:sob:
Has another bud developing (this is the first time it has a second flower in one stem) and two new growths.
Each growth takes almost two years to mature and flower.
Its real colour is closer to the two first photos. I´ve been unable to take a good shot for the third one.
Measurements:
-Flower NS: 12,7 cm
-Stem: 40 cm
I hope you like it after all...
Paphiopedilum Maudiae type
