Paphiopedilum Deperle using delenatii dunkel

[Happypaphy7]

Second flowering since May 2014.
It had two flowers last year and again two this year. Better than nothing, I guess.
The flower just opened. The dorsal loses green and turn cream yellow into pale pink with time.
The fully open shot is from last blooming.

Hopefuly it was made with primulinum v. purp also.

Lovely flower and so different from mine. The Deperle I
have is completely white. I like your flower much better.

Yes, that is the other parent.

White ones are more common, I think, but has its own charm.

One of these is on my list. Let me know if you want to sell it.

I might want to toss it when it gets too big, but for now, it's manageable with two mature growth. At the moment, it is pushing two new shoots. uh, oh!

I bought it from Glen (PPO) last year in spike. It has been a good grower and apparently willing bloomer. If you go to LI orchid festive, maybe you can get one in spike from him?

I didn't mean to buy this cross, but I was just attracted by the dark underside of the leaves, plus my plant is a bit on the smaller side compared to others I've seen in this cross.

 

[NYEric]

Well, let me know.

 

[Happypaphy7]

Ok, but probably not this year. lol

 

[NYEric]

LOLZ. Then I may buy one before you get tired of it.

So sweet!

Love deli x cochlo hybrids!

I have a flowering Delophyllum but all the flowers are deformed. As this is the first time that it spikes at home...I´ll give it a second chance. Meanwhile I´ll enjoy your pictures.

Thanks for sharing

It's strange that all the flowers are deformed, but then some people consider a tiny little dent or a little tooth on the flower as deformity, so I hope they are not too bad. lol

Maybe the next flowering might be better? If not, you can always try new plant!
