Paph. Summer Snow

[Sue]

"Summer Snow"? I guess maybe it doesn't usually bloom at this time of year.

= (haynaldianum x niveum var. album)

This is my first blooming with this plant (1 bloom, maybe 3-4" span; plant in 2 1/2" pot, plant is maybe 7" LS). I've never seen this grex around, or seen a picture of it in bloom (although I haven't searched much). Anybody ran across it before?

I love these multifloral x Brachy hybrids, and I'm excited I finally managed to bloom this one! Now wish me luck with my (Psyche x kolo)!

that's a choice bloom, thanks for sharing

There's always a danger with such names. Plants don't always bloom at the same time every year..........Even worse are names that mention color, as many orchids have multiple color forms.

That is real pretty, I like it a lot. Jim.

Yeah. I once came across a Paph. Blackberry Delight (a Maudiae-type) with two albinistic parents.

Ooh, thanks! I think that's the same cross I've got. Did you get it from Oak Hill? I think that's where I got mine, but I'm not sure.

I'm confused.

 

[NYEric]

Of course you're enthused! :crazy:
BTW I like the bloom.

I like it.

Very nice hybrid... I think lowii crosses with brachys tend to bloom out better than coryos...

 

[Greenpaph]

I love this hybrid!

Beautiful, thanks!

 

[Candace]
