Paphiopedilum callosum

[toddybear]

My most reliable slipper...always blooms 2 or 3 times per year. So far this year it has had 5 flowers. The dorsal is huge!

Gorgeous, Todd!

5 flowers! How many growths are in this pot?

This must be a good size specimen.:clap:

Looks great, Todd. I just got one of these last month, you make me very glad that I did!

What culture do you give it?

Lovely - 5 flowers per year that's awesome but obviously the plant rewards you for the good care!

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

Not really my type of paph but sounds good! Can you post a photo of the whole plant please?

That is a huge dorsal. Great picture too.

I have two callosum and so far have blasted each of them. I have not had that problem with any other paph and am not sure why both of the callosum blasted.

let's give it a clonal name, my suggestion - callosum 'Top Heavy'!

:sob: It wasn't meant in a negative way - that is one imposing dorsal!
What's your suggestion?

 

[Corbin]

I thought you were teasing and I was just getting in on the fun.

Ah.. I like that sombrero! Notice no comments by Todd :-(

 

[toddybear]

I just noticed all the comments! Glad you are all taken with the 'Dorsalis Humungalis' LOL! Actually 'Grand Chapeau' sounds kinda cool! But 'Sombrero Masculino' is catchy too!
