Paphiopedilum charlesworthii fm. sandowiae (album) ‘Titan’ AM/AOS

[DrLeslieEe]

Rarely blooming in summer, the flowers are smaller and sulk (not a happy face lol from the side sticking tongue out of that staminode).

But I’ll enjoy it despite its sullenness .

NS 8 cm
DSW 5 cm



A division from Hillsview.

I don't know what's going on this year, but the chucks and henrys seem to insist on pushing spikes in the dead heat of summer and either blasting or looking like crap.

Climate change lol .

Sticking tongue out...tongue?! It looks like someone is captured inside the staminode, trying to fight their way out...alas, but in vain!

The Killer Charlie strikes again! Starring: Titan. Coming to a cinema near you. Hopefully you counted relatives and friends properly last time, they were visiting!!!!

(Apart from that "minor" blemish, it's as beautifull as ever! )

PS. I find your clonal name, Titan, too generic. A titan it certainly is, though, more precisely Cronus, the titan who devoured his own children, untill Zeus the last of the pack put a stop to that!

I did not in fact name this. I bought a division of the awarded plant.

But if I did name it, it would be ‘Robin Hood’ lol.

I think the overall flower shape is better than those from the previous blooms(posts)...
