Paph Little Trouble

[Ross]

I just got confirmation on the name from the RHS. The cross is barbigerum x charlesworthii. I received permission from the originator of the cross to name it. It is a good name because the plant is little trouble to grow. Posing with the plant is one of our cats, Trouble.

Cute! Both the flowers and the kitty.

Perfect name! That's quite a show that plant is putting on!!! Beautiful!

That's cute. I would totally grow one of those!

 

[Mrs. Paph]

I wanted to make the cross if it hadn't been done yet, probably still will someday on account that your picture's proof it's pretty and easy to grow! And the furry Trouble's cute too!

That's a well grown and flowered plant Ross.

The flowers look allot like Paph cocineanum (barbigerum var lockianum)

Can we get a closer pic?

Very nice Ross!!! I will have to keep an eye out for one. Would love to add that to my collection!

 

[NYEric]

Wow! How do I get one of those? Really though, it is grown VERY well!

Thanks for all the kind comments. This plant virtually grows itself compared to most Paphs. I have three seedlings from this cross, but the other two are slackers and only have three growths each in bud or bloom. I think the strong clumping tendencies of both species combined with natural hybrid vigor has combined to make this kind of fast growth and multiple blooms possible. Any comments on this?
