Paph. laevigatum “in charm”

[Camellkc]

This is a division of the captioned clone from in charm orchid nursery in Taiwan. This clone can produce up to 5 flowers per spike under the owner’s culture but I can only do 3 this year. Lots of improvement on my culture skills are expected.

All the forms of this complex of laevigatum, philippinense, and roebelinii are group as one philippinense var philippinense now. I however do not agree with that as the 3 forms look and grow very different.

Nice flower, very healthy looking plant. I enjoy seeing your growing area. I am attracted to the idea of your vertical wire mesh. Looks like it is a good place to hang plants while still allowing for good air circulation. Mike

Three is disappointing. Have you seen it with 5?

Yes. The owner of the plant can grow it with 5 flowers per spike.

Judging from the glorious flowers and the foliage, you are being way too self-deprecating about your skills as a grower!

I wonder, when the plant was divided and how many times, it has flowered since then?

By the way, feel free to send the plant to me, and we'll see, If I can improve on your futile efforts!

Kind regards, Jens

I bought this 3 years ago and this division was already divided and grown for sometimes. I will shoot some photos for your reference later.

I am not depreciate my growing skills but I am sad that this clone does perform its flowering potential, so that improvements should be made.
