Paph thaianum?

[Erythrone]

Cute species!!

 

[SlipperKing]

Very much like thaianum now that it has had time to mature more!

They're very cute and probably would bring their small size to hybrids if vigorous strains can be made. I would like to have a bunch but so far have not had much luck keeping them alive.

I pollinated this plant today. While at the weekend markets here in Bangkok I saw a Paph micranthum in bloom.. Sadly it was more than a bit deformed, or I would have bought it to put pollen too.

Yes, I agree, great potential to make micro paphs here.

Hi Bolero

I will be bringing about 4 flasks (100 seedlings) of these back with me to Australia, so you will see some around soon enough. I finally got some Mexipedium xerophyticum in flask also (wild form).

Eric, what are you growing them in? They seem to need a very ricky mix. Mine is bits of broken brick, coarse pebbles, a little organics, but not a lot.

 

[NYEric]

Mine were in bark mix. If/when I get more I'll try diff mixes to compare results.Thanx for the advice.

Hi Breet and anyone!
I'am a paph collector and hybridizer from Thailand. Well, I have some detail for you. Paph thaianum must have a pink spot in the pouch and the last of your picture is a dwarf of paph godefroyae!!! It is mix up with paph thaianum growing in the nature.

Hi San

I kind of guessed this might be so. Do you do any flasking of Paphs?

That is a good bit of information! Thanks, San. And welcome to Slippertalk.

Hello San,
If both godefroyae and thaianum can be together in nature, how to be sure it's not just a variation of this species? they should hybridize together, unless they don't bloom at the same time?
Thanks,
Paul

Ok, this is a paph I could love!!! Too cute! Is this available in the US?

Very nice! Does anyone else see a resemblance to Mexipedium? Not a lot, but it is there. Tall, slender spike; pure white, small flower. The shape is a bit different, though, but not a lot. I don't know, but I just saw a similarity when I saw this. Would be interesting to see the two in bloom together.

One of my thaianum is finally throwing out 2 spikes. Will see if they look different from the other thaianum.

Not legally anymore!

Not legally anymore!

anymore?
was it?

A bunch of them were evidently imported and dismissed as bad niveum!
