Paph. Fumi's Delight 'Cantaloupe'

[tomkalina]

The first to bloom of the BS Paph. Fumi's Delight (armeniacum x micranthum) seedlings listed on our website. The cantaloupe base color and vivid petal markings are what we were expecting from this breeding. Flower has a horizontal natural spread of 8.1 cm; not bad for a first bloom seedling.

Nice.

This is the first time that I've been tempted by a hybrid. Is i easier than a standard micranthum?

Very nice Fumi!

Nice color and very nice pouch.
Love it!

Beautiful, Tom! Great petal markings and good shape for a FBS, nice example of this hybrid.

Yes, very interesting result. Im' not a fanatic of Fumi's Delight standard but this one is very nice.
Congratulations!

Attractive color on that one and interesting shape.

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice surprize Tom. Are you going to hang on to this one or let it go?

 

[Erythrone]

A very nice one!

Rick,

I think we'll keep this one to breed with. I wish I could tell whether the rest of them would have this color, but my experience in the past with this grex is they can be quite variable.

 

[SlipperFan]

Keep that one, Tom. The color is exquisite.

 

[abax]

Delicious color and the shape is quite attractive.

 

[Dido]

a great one you should give him holiday in germany

I'm very excited about this bud-watch! Thank you, Tom, for such a healthy plant!

Is this a division of the plant discussed on this thread??
Congrats!!

I would love to see some flowers on mine.

 

[MaryPientka]

I bought it as a seedling from the same grex in 2014. This is it's first bloom. Fingers crossed

 

[Happypaphy7]

Oh, I see.
Well, I hope it turns out nice!

I wish mine were better behaving. I love FM flowers and the plant itself as well. So small and pretty. but they are not doing much for me.
I will give them a couple more years before tossing. Lucky they are small plants. lol
