'Ruey Ann Jade' AM/OSROC x 'Green Jade'
This is a fine strain of phil fma. alba--it is a full-size plant with full-size flowers (some strains have small flowers)
First described in 1862 and native to a wide range within the Philippine archipelago, Paph. philippinense is a variable but delightful multifloral species. It is an easy grower that prefers hot, humid, and bright conditions, and typically blooms in spring or summer with the increasing light duration. Although it is certainly well worth growing in its own right, Paph. philippinense has been the parent of some truly illustrious primary hybrids such as Saint Swithin (x rothschildianum) and Michael Koopowitz (x sanderianum).
The green-and-white "alba" variety of Paph. philippinense was discovered a number of years ago, and has paph fanciers salivating at the thought of "alba" multifloral hybrids. Once prohibitively expensive, philippinense fma. alba has been extensively selfed and sib crossed, and plants are now within the reach of any paph connoisseur.
