I think I posted pictures of this plant previously, but I just wanted to share and update of it.

Interesting, Why is it so pale?

 

[RNCollins]

It's pretty. It's like a blush Chablis wine.

Blush is the right word, lovely.

I love it. I need to find a good dayanum like this one.

I really adore those leaves! Wonderful. I have a bunch of dayanums but withdifferent leaves, there is a variability there I understand from earlier posts. Your leaves are soo nice. I must be on the lookout for that type.

From what I have read from other posts, there seems to be two types of leaves for Paph. dayanum. When I got this one, the seller had a box of plants, some had dark and others light leaves. Interestingly enough, the ones with dark leaves where in flower at that time, but not the ones with light leaves. I chose one with light leaves so I could flower it myself. Now I feel the need to get one with the darker leaves.

Thank you all for your great comments!

So elegant!

Nice form. I have noticed two distinct flowering seasons in my dayanum a, mid summer and early winter. I can't say that I have noticed a difference in the leaf colouring though.

From blooming a few dayanums myself, a blush flower is more expected then a richly colored one. Of the three plants I have, all are differently colored plants but none are as light green/yellow as this one..

Still a very nice clone.

I got it from from Chris Mende (The Tiny Jungle) and I think she got them from Ooi Leng Sun Orchids at the Pacific Orchid Expo this year.

Very nice people, Michael and Ben Ooi. Very knowledgable about a host of esoteric subjects, not just orchids.
