Paph Satin Smoke

[parvi_17]

This is a cross between Paph micranthum and Paph primulinum. The flower is very large; I wish Paph micranthum were as easy to bloom as this one!



Thanks for looking!

Thanks to everyone for the comments. Here are some additional shots I took of the flower, now that the tepals have flattened more:

Very nice! (I should have bought one of these from Ernie when he was in town!)

Yeah, no s#$%. I'll have to see if I have any more. They are lovely. I know one is in very high bud.

This is on my wish list for sure. Saw them at Paramount; the foliage is really nice too, isn't it?

How many Paphs with Parvi heritage don't have gorgeous leaves? One thing that is somewhat unique about this one (at least my plant) is that there is a purple streak down the centre of the leaves underneath (as opposed to pigmentation throughout the undersides).

Its a 'different' sort of flower. One cross that you cant even give away over here.
