Paphiopedilum Chou-Yi Yuki

[Rick Barry]

This was labeled as Sugar Suite (emersonii x niveum), but the seller conceded it is probably Paph Chou-Yi Yuki (hangianum x niveum). You decide.

Without a proper lable who knows?

I would agree that it looks like a hangianum cross....but with the limited experience of US growers, who knows? We can only judge hangianum and its influence by pictures and guessing...I think our European, asian, and Australians may be able to give a qualified opinion...(are you out there Olaf?)...still, I think its got hangianum. Take care, Eric

Just lovely!

 

[Mrs. Paph]

That is beautiful! I like the soft pink in it.

Upright dorsal form and netty pattern in the staminode aren't emersonii traits. What's the natural spread?

I think you should send it to me...

Width is 11 cm, length 9 cm. All measurements argue against Sugar Suite.
I've seen a few others online, and I have little doubt that it is Chou-Yi Yuki.

There have been a couple of these shown on the net in the last year or two and I would say that its a Chou Yi Yuki. One shown is very similar to this one.

I agree with Rick and Barry!
