Below is a picture of one of our Paph. vietnamense. Thus far this has been one of the best ones to open.

Stunning! If only the blooms would last longer.

 

[JeanLux]

You have a pretty great shape on this one!!!! Bravo! Jean

(BTW: I had 1 of my vietn. for 1 week in our livingroom, and the flower showed signs of starting to fade. I brought the plant back into my gh, and the flower is always there after amost 2 more weeks!!)

I love it!

That is the best (by photo) I have seen. Wonderful color contrast. The deepest color in the pouch I've seen images of so far. I guess it is the norm to have a narrow dorsal to leave an open profile between the dorsal and the petals.

Nice plant - I hope you are making more vietnamense, in addition to hybrids.

Yes, last time when they bloomed I made 3 sib crosses. All of them germinated with lots of seedlings....

Wonderful, love the deep pink pouch.

Mine refuses to flower :sob:

Cool, but that's one hairy bloom!

 

[Drorchid]

Cool, but that's one hairy bloom!

Yes, I agree. I am going to use this as a parent to create my line of "Persian" Paphs; Paphs with long hairs and flat staminodal shields (instead of noses)

What are you planning on crossing it with to maintain these features?

 

[paphioboy]

Simply gorgeous... I wish vietnamense could grow and bloom without the need for artificial cooling..

Hell no comments his Paph. it is fantastic surreal, I am astonished with the Paphos

 

[SlipperFan]

That's gorgeous, Robert. I don't think I've seen a more symmetrical one. This one doesn't look so floppy, either.

Jean, do you think it had to do with humidity???
