Paph (venustum x helenae)

[Ross]

These two beauties were recently in bloom. I purchased a flask some time ago from Antec. The plants seem uniformly vigorous and easy to grow. I thought it a good time to post the pictures as Antec just put a compot up for sale on EBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Antec-307C-PAPH...6QQihZ016QQcategoryZ42218QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I saw that compot and couldn't decide if I was interested.
Hmmm...

They seem to take to the helenae parent

Your post make me checking it out.
I am not sure what to do about it either.
Maybe I will keep looking at your photo, and see if they grow on me.

No, it's not a "shameless plug for EBay". It's a deserved mention for two fine people, Bob and Lynn Wellenstein.

Well Ross, that put an abrupt end to the thread :rollhappy:

Yeah, I seem to have the knack for doing that.

 

[Bob Wellenstein]

Me too Ross, but that's okay - I keep lists :wink:

Bob

Will you have helenae species sibling crosses soon?

 

[Bob Wellenstein]

Yes, but I don't know how soon they will be released. We have other species from the PRC system also, but, like helenae are needing to go to the second generation before they can go into wide release. Maybe by then the bad taste from all the nonsense from the vietnamense release will be diminished. Maybe.

 

[SlipperFan]

We can hope!

S-weet!
