Paph hirsutissimum

 

[SlipperFan]

Lucky you! Very nice.

 

[paphjoint]

Very nice !!

 

[Park Bear]

very nice...I think I am leaning more towards the second flower.

 

[Heather]

Cool species...funny how it is blooming now there - they really are seasonal huh? Opposite here, usually they start throwing the sheaths about this time and bloom in March.

 

[Rick]

Those have a different dorsal sepal from what I usually see. I like it.

 

[Gideon]

Here is another one which just opened a few days ago. I really love the colour on it

 

[SlipperFan]

Interesting how different they all are from one another.

 

[Mahon]

That last one has great color! Very nice plants!

[Greenpaph]

I would definitely pick the third one! Great coloration and shape!

thanks, Gideon

 

[Rick]

The form of the third one is very nice. Especially if the petal presentation stays like that. What's the size of that flower?

 

[Gideon]

Rick, it is a first flowering seedling and only 11cm across

Nice flowers. What part of South Africa are you in? Did you get the snow earlier this year?

Johannesburg, yes we got the only bit of snow that fell in the area, unfortunately so did a large portion of my Phrags

Did your Phrag's survive?

Gideon, those are some great looking hirsuts! This species is getting hard to find in the states... supplanted by esquirolei. I've seen so few hirsutissimum blooms that I doubt I could distinguish between the two

Well, I can't tell the difference, I have asked about the differences plenty of times, without any definitive answers

 

[Bolero]

The second one is my favourite, great colour!!!

But it's a great achievement to flower both. Well done.

 

[dustywoman]

I love all of them :drool: , but the colors on that third flower are absolutely magnificant!!!!

I lost about 12 of them, the rest are slowly recovering
