Paph. spicerianum

[tocarmar]

Here is another spice. It is about 1/2 the size of my 'St. Albans' but the side petals are straight with very little wrinkles.

nice stripes, but esp. on the first pict., I get the impression that there something wrong? / 'out of its place'! Jean

It's very cool....are you sure it's pure spicerianum? It has very different characteristics from any that I've seen before. It's very cute!

I've got the same thoughts - it looks slightly weird for a true spicerianum e.g. shape of the dorsal, stance of the petals and dorsal ? But maybe this flower is just a bit misshaped and the next will be alright?

It has the colours of a spicerianum and the shape of another Paph...!!! Weird and interesting!!! Very beautiful, though!!!!

Whatever it is, It still looks very cute !! hopefully the next flower won't be squiff...

Poor thing - It got tired! Ran out of energy along the way.

I think it is just opening that is why the petal are straight and the dorsal has not fluted back wards yet. Here is a picture of my Paph. spicerianum that has not yet fully opened (I wish it did already! :sob and after it opened fully one week after.

That is a nice big, flat dorsal, It almost looks like it is from charlesworthii!!

I don't think the above one is straight spicerianum. Looks like a spicey hybrid to me.
