[lienluu]

FINALLY! I got this division back around 1996, the plant has been growing literally millimeters per year and finally decided to bloom this year.

Do you have a link to a photo of it?

I have two different clones of Paph. henryanum album. This one, which I got from Boscha, I also have a second division of a different plant, which I got from Sam Tsui. I'm not sure what the background is on the plant from Sam.

:clap: Congrats! That's patience!
Are they all so slow growing?
I can appreciate the rareness but seems to lose the henry charm without the spots.

 

[Lint]

A vast improvement over regular henryanum, IMHO.

Lienluu, May I suggest you have this very rare variety of henry photography in greater detail for generations now and to come. Only because this variety may never be seen again. Also, if the plant is strong enough to self it so that this rare album form is not lost. Like so many other varieties found once and now gone forever.
A very unique and beautiful flower, thanks!

This is an extremly rare plant and...yes P. henryanum gets a lot of its charm by its spottet dorsal.
But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it !!

I never liked the color combination of a yellow dorsal, the pink pouch and the brownish petals of the regular henrys!
