Paph. jackii

[eggshells]

For Mutant as I know she loves these group. :rollhappy:

I am quite unsure about this one if its fully open or not but it has been a very very long wait. As much time as malipoense. Its been 2 months on the slightly open bud stage and almost two weeks at this form so I feel like the dorsal will not tilt up anymore.

It also the first time it bloomed for me. I do like this one despite of the dorsal covering the pouch. Almost looks like a cypripedium in that regard.

Beautiful leaves and quite different from a malipoense especially when you touch and feel the leaves surface.

Very nice regardless of the dorsal and I agree on the foliage. I just picked up a few from Popow. Hopefully I will get a few flowers by this time next year. Any signs of the damn albums?

I always thought they looked like poor malipoense. How is the fragrance?

I would say that jackii is quite okay, since it feels more balanced in my eyes (petals, pouch, dorsal), same with delenatii, and most other Parvis actually. It's micrathum with their gigantic toilet...eh...pouches that irks me. But micrathum has great colour instead, while malipoense and its cousin, don't.

But both malis prod some serious buttock when it comes to the foliage.

it looks like it will fill out and open more with time.

 

[Erythrone]

Elegant species and well grown too!

Despite looking squished this is pretty cool. The staminode is fantastic looking.

Great flowering!

On a side note, are these legally obtainable in the US yet?

I'm wondering if it will fade in color as it matures.

 

[Happypaphy7]

In love with those leaves!!!
Thanks for posting.

Very nice, I need one!

 

[SlipperKing]

Still nice that you have a blooming plant. I think the flower will improve with a larger stronger plant.

I have not seen an alba for sale. It might be super expensive when it does.
