Paph. hangianum

[Hien]

Beautiful flower, and 4 starter growths for bonus too.
I am curious that the veins are so prominent, was it from not enough watering ? or was it from being just opened ?

 

[Duck Slipper]

So the waiting came to an end and the lovely flower opened and is looking good. What about the scent ?

If there is a scent, I can’t smell it. But, I can’t smell much!

I’m not sure Hien…flower veins? Leaf veins?
We are coming out of winter in a greenhouse. Everything is watered less.

I mean the veins in the flower, what you said make sense, perhaps lacking of water produce a less thick petals ? anyway, the fragrant is stronger in the morning to around noon if you want to detect it.

Cute flower.

Most fragrant in the morning when sun is up.

I don't think I've seen a hang, I didn't like. Worth waiting for - good work!

I can just barely detect a slight citrus scent. But I don’t have a good sniffer!!

Flower has just opened…Colors are a bit bleached because of indoor lighting. Cold and cloudy outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunshine, I will try to get more pics. A large flower in comparison to the plant!View attachment 33479 View attachment 33480

It’s absolutely beautiful. You really help me; seeing this bloom, I think mine is one year away (or so) based on size.

 

[Duck Slipper]

A couple of pics in the sunshine…

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Great photos!

 

[Hien]

wow , the flower in the sunlight is truly beautiful , what is the dimension?
the shape of the dorsal seems to indicate that it was bred with parents chosen for large size hangianum

 

[LO69]

The natural light makes It shine in all its splendour!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Did you do some measurements of the flowers in cm? Natural spread as well as dorsal sepal and petal (length and width). Good to keep record of it for comparison.

Mammoth was asking lol.

I just realized your comparisons were in the same order as for Mammoth's lol.

As it's a first bloom, you might get bigger than Mammoth in the following years. And leaves may get bigger too.

There are very few hangianum’s on ST. For comparison and culture! I used ‘Mammoth’ measurements for comparison.
I agree with you though, as a first bloom seedling, this one isn’t doing bad.
