Had. Mine is living at Tom's now:>

Where exactly do you live? I'll be nice and only steal a division. I really like this one and I don't care for vinis in general.

Candace,
I don't know if the division would happen any time soon. This plant seems to be the one that the old growth keep dying back when the new growth matured. I've talked to Harold Koopowitz about this. He said that some plant has this genetic flaw that the old growth will always die back. I think this plant might has it.

O.K. then I won't be nice and I'll steal the whole thing! Maybe tell us how you're growing it and folks can give you some suggestions to try.

I don't generally like fairrieanum nor vinis, but this is a fabulous example of the cross as far as color goes! My mom said it looks like a red onion.

Nice!

WOW!!! Vinicolour Maudiae definitely carries through...

 

[gotsomerice]

Looking at the picture again. I really love the small patch of green color in the center. It's a good contrast!

Yes! It's amazing that it retains the shape of fairrieanum and Vini color of Maudiae!

Candace,
Actually, I am not into vinis either. In fact is this the only hybrid vini I have. When I saw the plants in bud, I noticed the super dark color bud. Then I looked at the cross and I saw "fairrieanum" in it. I had to buy it. I love fairrienum shape. When It was in bloom for the first time I was super happy. I fact I thought at it was missed label since I have never seen a fairrienum shape paph. with such a dark color until this one.

About growing condition, I am super conservative about changing that since I think this plant will be hard to replace if something happen to it.

Thats one of, if not the best P.fairrieanum hybrid ( red ) flowers I've seen. Full fairrieanum flower with the vini maud color.

That's lovely. Here's my darkest:
