Paph primulinum var. purpurascens

[SlipperKing]

Mine is just starting to play peek-a-boo: I'm thinking it's more on the liltii side of the varities.

kind of pastel. Can you post a pic of the plant (including the leaf bases)?

Rick, I have a plant that I bought from Dennis d'Allesandro that was mislabeled, and that Ernie suspects is a primulinum purpurescens. Please let me know some more details about your plant that might help me cinch the identification of mine.

Here is two close up shots of the base of the plant with 2 different exposures:

very nice large plant!!! IMO the colors of the bloom are not quite visible on your pic! (even if this may be bad practice I would have used the flash for colors sake ) Jean

I wonder if it's a cross between primulinum (regular) and v. purpurascens.
