Paph. superbiens var. curtisii

[The Mutant]

I completely forgot about this one. It has been in flower for about two months now, and it has faded considerably compared to when I took the pictures. I really like the colour on this one, which is why I managed to at least snap a couple of shots of it (my appletonianum and my callosum var. subleave have both flowered, but I didn't manage to take pictures of them due to depression).

That bloom should really pick up your spirits. Feel better and great bloom you have there.

Thanks guys!

It's one of my favourites (they all are I think); the dark flowers and the lovely foliage, plus it's easy to grow.

Lovely leaves even though they are out of focus.

The superbiens is a big, chunky dude...definitely a male-
appearing flower. You seem to be doing much better than
I am at blooming Paphs. Hang on, dear, the episodes
don't last forever.

They certainly do. What makes me the happiest though, is that the majority of the collection seems to be recovering well from last year's neglect and the aftermath of said neglect.

The foliage is the reason I prefer curtisii over superbiens, so I absolutely agree.

Yep, definitely a guy Paph. :rollhappy:

Really? To me it seems like the opposite, so I guess that means we're equally good/bad at flowering them. :wink:
