Paph Luna Moth 'Hairy Lemon' x Paph henryanum ' Tall Stem'

[chris20]

I really like this one. I grow it under lights, and it blooms so readily that the future health of the plant is in question. I am considering removing next year's flower buds to give the plant a chance to grow vegetatively. The blooms have a mild, pleasant musky fragrance.

I have one plant this exact same hybrid.
How big is your plant?
Mine is like a typical henryanum size.

I find this one (at least mine) very very slow growing.
It was a first time flowering seedling with two blooms in the summer of 2013, and it did have one new fan just starting, but that fan is now mature and making a sheath again.
During this time, it has made three more growths, but not mature enough to flower yet.
I almost threw it away because it was so slow and made me frustrated. hahaha

By the way, are you sure it is fragrant?
None of the plants involved in making this hybrid is scented, I don't think?
One parent is a maudiae type hybrid and then henryanaum.

Similar to Paph. Bailey's Bid, though I'm guessing the flowers and foliate are a lot bigger.

The leaf span is 13". I don't think it is particularly slow growing, but it will bloom on a not fully mature growth in response to the change in seasons, hence my concern about blooming to death. It is definitely fragrant, although mildly as I said.
Maybe a recessive gene or something from Luna Moth?
It seems to like bright light and I grow it 10-15 degrees cooler in winter than in summer.

Hmmm mine is totally different than yours.
I'd take blooming to death plants over lazy plants. lol

Luna Moth is a maudiae type hybrid. I don't think there's any fragrance there. Maybe mutation?

An intensely colored Bailey's Bid is much prettier!
