Paphiopedilum helenae

[P.K.Hansen]

First time this blooms for me. I have a thing for these tiny species, and this just makes me smile.
Second spike will be there soon.

I like the small Paphs. too. The "halo" on the dorsal
is especially nice.

Like abax said...Wow!

 

[Guldal]

It's indeed a beauty - nice form and a strong and well grown plant. The white halo of the dorsal adds, as abax says, just that little extra. Congrats!

Whence did you get it? (and btw: thanks for the in-toto-shots!)

Kind regards,
Jens

 

[P.K.Hansen]

I got it from Kopf.

 

[Greenpaph]

Just beautiful!

 

[Ozpaph]

its a 'cheery' flower, that's why it makes you smile.

Well said!

 

[BrucherT]

It’s stunning! What kind of light,temps and watering schedule are you on?

 

[P.K.Hansen]

Just normal intermediate paph settings, and I keep them under LED lights

 

[BrucherT]

I haven’t seen a ton of these but this is my favorite so far.

Nice, thanks for sharing. You have to get barbigerum also.

 

[P.K.Hansen]

I have one Eric

 

[GuRu]

Lovely one. Congrats. But it's flowering very early in the year. Usually the autumn is the main flowering season of helenae.

That's lovely clone. Great dorsal.

I have another from the same seller. Maybe that'll flower in a few months

 

[Junglejewel]

It's a gorgeous little guy! Great growing

 

[SlipperKing]

It's a cutie

 

[Phred]

Very nice color. So many seem to have that rusty color pouch. Yours is almost completely yellow. I love helenae and am trying to make as many new hybrids with it as possible.
