Paph Miss Faith Hanbury (niveum x glaucophyllum)

[L I Jane]

I don't think this is what the tag says.It opened much darker this year & looks nothing like the pic of Miss Faith Hanbury in the new edition of Orchid Wiz.I didn't get the tags mixed so I haven't the slightest idea.The orchid place where this originated is no longer in business so I can't check with them

Yeah, usually Ms FH has a white background with a delicate pinkish overlay. It's possibly some brachy onto some Cochlopetalum (are there more buds?)? If it's a primary, I'd doubt the brachy is bellatulum as (in my experience) it typically gives speckles unless it's put on one of the boldly striped species (like a lot of the multiflorals). There are always exceptions. Godefroyae and leucochilum are better at giving the bigger blotches seen here. Just my 2c.

Miss Faith Hanbury

My banged up Miss Faith Hanbury from the same grower...I think they are very similar and also there is one on Slipper Orchid info that looks similar...Matt Pederson has one similar on his website.

It is real normal for a brachy x non-brachy hybrid to open with a green cast, this usually fades to ivory in about 5 to 7 days. My bellatulum often opeb yellow green, then fade to white over the first week. See what you think next week.
