Paph. philippinense -- another one

[SlipperFan]

I suppose I should have waited until they were all open... and taken out the tag!

This is to show the staminode, but what's that behind it? Not bugs, I checked.

That's gorgeous..!!! I think I'm gonna give a last try at phil... I've killed 2 already, without knowing what actually went wrong (possibly too wet)..

Those are very pretty flowers Dot.

The pointy pouch looks like it may have some roebelinii in it?

None of my philli types bloom before February is this the usual time for this plant?

Beautiful plant and flowers!!!! Dot, what is the size of the stems and the length of the petals?? (the one down in the middle, is this a 'fallen bloom' or a 3rd inflor. coming up?). Jean

Not at all, it's interesting to see the different stages of blooming out in one photo especially with such a beautiful species. I agree with the tag but I'm quite sure if you hadn't mentioned nobody would have noticed it.
Way to go with you excellent photos.

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

Wonderful blooming of a beautiful plant.... not even the tag (which I didn't notice) could distract!

 

[SlipperFan]

Thanks, everyone.

Tom, I thought it might be pollen also, but is that the normal place? (Dumb question.)

Jean, I wondered if anyone would notice that. It's actually a not very well formed flower that opened first, and it's on a separate inflorescence, in the same growth as one of the other spikes. Several people on this forum recently posted photos of this phenomenon. When I saw it on mine, I thought, "Oh no! This flowering will be a disaster!" But it really is turning out quite nice.

No need to wait & we'll all be looking forward to an update!

The color is totally different, it's almost like the alba form had to have a say!

Gorgeous!

Yeah, reminds me a little of a laevigatum with the coloring...
Fabulous job, as usual - plant and photos - Dot!
