Paph herrmannii / Paph tranlienianum

[JeanLux]

2 of my actual bloomers!! Jean

herrmannii, a reliable one:


and a new tranlienianum I brought along from Aachen orchid show, so not my merit for blooming it:

Nice paphs you have there Jean.

 

[Rick]

Very dark versions of both. I love them Jean!

Need to breed them and send me (or Brett) some seed!

 

[Marc]

Btw Jean I just noticed that yours has a green bump on the staminoide and mine has a yellow bump.

For those who want to compare here's the link to photo's of my tranlianum

Should this be considered as a clear sign that these plants originate from different lines?

Interesting Marc!!! Here a pic of my other tranlien. that also looks like having lighter colors than my new one, incl. the yellow spot on the stami (last year's bloom)! Jean

Gorgeous blooms!!!! I think I must get a tranlienianum too...! Jean do they usually bloom this time of the year?
