Paph. Memoria Connie Truax

[SlipperFan]

micranthum x chamberlainianum -- first time blooming.

Looks great, Dot. Is yours super slow growing? I think mine bloomed about 5 years ago and has crept along. It seems to just sit there! Two growths are now b.s. so maybe there will be a miracle. I don't see this cross often and I wonder if it's because people die before the plant gets big enough to bloom.

Hairy little guy!

She's got nice whiskers.

 

[Jorch]

interesting proportions! I like it

Nice one Dot. A real micranthum dominance to my eyes which is a good thing in this cross.

Sorry Dot, can't get into this cross at all. Yours has nice color but thats it.

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

I like it in a strange sort of way, especially the shape of the lip. Never seen this cross before, so thanks for the look!

Thanx for posting! This is my favorite type of paph! Like Paph Jim Kie, Satin Smoke, Dellaina, etc, you don't find a lot of them around.

I love it.. Would make a nice substitute for micranthum if it is warmer-growing..

 

[Gilda]

I like it !!:clap: Looks like pink bubblegum `!!

 

[SlipperKing]

Oh Dot I like this guy a lot! Like others have said, not seen much but nice when it does bloom! Has it opened any more? How many buds?

 

[biothanasis]

WOW!!!!! Stunning!! Look that shape!!! Nice colours too!!

Unfortunately, this is as open as it got. But I'ts the first bloom, so maybe next time it will be better. There is one more bud....

Since someone sniped the album Paph Wild Thing and the Gina Short from me on eBay last weekend I now have money left to bid on a Jim Kie and a Taiwan Rose so I can have something similar looking soon.

 

[CodPaph]

very very nice

I think the micranthum with any of the zip-zig paph. crosses are hard to bloom. I have similar one, Taida Glucothum that just sit there for 3 years and just slowly wasted away while Gold Dollar and Envy Green just blooming like crazy.

Go with Taiwan Rose or (Belroyal x mic) as they are much easier to bloom and grow faster. Jim Kie is too slow due to stonei parentage and even harder to grow and bloom than Gloria Naugle.

That's a great one! Very nice!
