Took a few more pics today in the sun. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

The pouch color is very intense dark glowing pink, contrasting with the bright lime green dorsal and purplish brown petals. The black spots also add to the playfulness of the flower. This color play is why I love henryanums!

Final size:
NS 8.4 cm
DS 4.4 cm width

Leslie, you can see one of the parents by using the search option... search/Slippery's henryanum and member/Trithor.
That's the year that the plant had 3 inflorescences each with 2 flowers. Some of my henryanums are just now coming
into bud. I'm checking the larger seedlngs but nothing so far. Fingers crossed. Jerry

Just found it. That’s a fantastic plant and flowering! Please update with pics of those in spike when they open.
 
Damn good and lovely in full sun, too....and what a loooooong inflorescence for a henry...simply an amazing clone!
Yes apparently there is an ecotype from the Chien Hoa province in Vietnam with these long flower stems, longer leaves and darker pouches. Not many survived the collection and redistribution travels, but luckily this one persists.
 
Goodness gracious, that creature is stunning! Not sure why I put a pic of my beat up ole Henryanum on here. What a dude!

Hey Duck, all henryanums are beautiful in their own way and must be shown so we can appreciate two things:

1. Enjoy the cute playful flower(s)
2. Celebrate with the grower the blessing of blooming one!

In fact, it will show us that each species/hybrids come in all shapes and sizes. All are beautiful in my (and I’m sure many other’s) eye.
 
Leslie, sorry to say that but I've never seen an uglier plant which doesn't fit completely in your collection of rare and albino Paph. The easiest way to solve the problem would be........send it as fast as possible to me. Lol
I hope you understand I was just kidding.
Awesome plant and flower.

Eggplant has a small buddy that just came into bloom. Five weeks later, Eggplant is still unbelievably going strong! You can see how variable the shapes of these three henryanums are. Eggplants is more majestic, Hoodview is chunky and the new one is just a Lil’ Bro lol.
