Paph parishii

[Gilda]

I have been holding my breath and crossing my fingers since I found the bloom sheath on this one ! This is a first bloom seedling that has 4 flowers, and I have been growing it for 2 years !! It was worth the wait and the patience ! I love the hairy warts that stick out !

That's a good one Gilda. Can you post a photo of the whole plant please?

Busy doing some repotting Eric . It is not too big...it is growing in a 16 oz cup(semi hydro) with a lef span of 19-20 inches. The second growth is up about 6 inches.

I think this may be P. dianthum, or maybe a cross of diantum and parishii.

The petals are dark, but the stem and ovaries do not look very pubescent.

The flower count is low for a parishii, but it is a first time bloomer.

I think the stem is hairy/pubescent enough to name it P. parishii and leave the tag as it is.
However, if P. parishii or P. dianthum - at any rate it's a beauty and I'm looking forward to blooming the both of mine some day.

Best regards from Germany

PS -I finally have some protocorns of parishii ready to replate! Who knows when the flasks will be available, though...

Yes.

I was being reactionary after Oak Hills release of "parishii" that are all blooming out as dianthum. Less than 10 years ago dianthum was just considered a variety of parishii, and I'm expecting to see a rash of hybrids of these two over the next few years.

very nice, congratulations !

Great looking flower. I have a mature three growth plant that I am patiently waiting to bud up. Nice job. Doug
