Paph. sukhakulii gone wrong

[Phred]

This has occurred to some of my flowers. It started when I used hormonal supplements with auxins like kelp. Do you use these?

Sometimes chemicals can affect flowers during bud formation. Did you use any?

Has anyone had a similar odd outcome with a Paph. and what causes it? View attachment 22334 View attachment 22335

I self it to see if anything strange results... cool experiment.

HB73 hahaha ! That particular flowering --- the pic you took was awesome actually. That's a really special occurrence for sure. Loved that pic, and thanks for sharing it.

There’s a Facebook page if these weirdos.
My P. purpuratums now seem prone to it, has happened on two separate plants, twice. I don’t know if the clones are related or not. It’s interesting and a bit fun to be surprised.

I also like that idea of using a hole-punch, so that it can later be stored in a ring-binder folder hehehehehe
