Paph helenae(s)

[Jorch]

Here are two of my helenae in bloom. The first one is a first blooming, a single growth plant. I like the dark pouch color and the downsweep petals. I hope the form will improve as the plant matures.

The second one is a 4 growth plant. The dorsal is apple green with white halo instead of yellow, but the pouch is paler in comparison. It has the usual "hug me" petals

Enjoy!

Great little blooms!

Beautiful! Thanks for the great pics! The dorsal on the second photo is yummy!

I agree that the one with the darker color is somehow nicer despite the fact the other has better form. Nice little species!

hmm, imagine the colour of the first with the form of the second... yum!!!

i really like the whole 'hug me' stance of the petals on the second!

I'll take either! I would like to think that the first one will improve with age! It's worth the wait & space to hold on to!

"Hug me" -- I like that description!

That's what I thought too.

Adorable flowers

I am struggling with my heleneae. I replanted it yesterday and the roots were not in the best condition.
