Paph Winter Coat (wenshanense x leucochilum)

[ogecko]

Here are a couple of photos of a hybrid that I haven't seen much about, Paph Winter Coat (wenshanense x leucochilum). I'm a yellow fanatic so this hybrid is just about perfect for me!

It's a passion flower hybrid, Passiflora 'Manta' (xiikxodz x coriacea). Interesting plant: variegated "bat wing" leaves and the older stems are black! I had a difficult time deciding on a Paph for my avatar so I went completely away from orchids. If I ever get hooked up with a Passiflora Forum, I suppose that I'll use a Paph for my avatar - probably Winter Coat!

These plants came from Parkside Orchid Nursery (no affiliation) and are still listed in their on-line catalog (http://www.parksideorchids.com/paph_brachy&parvis.htm) if you're interested. It's probably a bit far for you, but they're having their annual Orchid Fest in a couple of weeks, you could pick one out!

Neither of those look very yellow to me but they both look like incredible whites.

The pictures may not look yellow, but in person they are a both a fairly deep yellow. When they just open, they have a tendency to be more greenish-yellow, especially in the dorsal sepal.
