Paph. roebellinii aureum 'Greenlace'

[Heather]

Second blooming. This plant just wants to focus on it's growth, not it's blooms. Three last time, only two this time. Still, I'm just happy it bloomed. Could also likely use more light.

I love the little lavender touches.

That is gorgeous! I like those soft colours!

Cross it with an alba Maudiae type...that would make a cool cross!

The lavender touches are nice. When the second flower opens to to get a pic that shows the staminode.

We're in the teens tonight.

Supposed to spend a couple days in Chicago this week. Should be colder yet!

Heather,

I love it! :clap:

 

[SlipperFan]

Ditto. Both the "I love it" and "it's cold here tonight!"

 

[ohio-guy]

Multi envy!

That is so cool....roebellinii is one of my all time favorites. How about crossing it to a parishii for maintaining twisty petals and increasing flower count? It has probably already been done before though.....or cross it with Lady Isabel, and you can have "Isabella Roebellini!" ( or "love child?"....perhaps I am dating myself)

How long was it between blooming episodes?
:drool:

looks great....I love roe's

 

[Heather]

Thanks!
It flowered just about a year ago, in February, for the first time.
Extremely compact plant. Mature growths are 8-9" in leafspan.

:clap: very nice Heather...increasing the light might do the trick. crossing it with one of Lien's roths or a nice sanderianum

It's funny, by heating the building to keep the older residents warm, it's too hot for my orchids. I open windows, then it gets too cold! The balance is tough.
Oh BTW, nice blooms.

:fight: I must force Heather to do maudiaes!

I really really like your plant BTW
