Paphiopedilum liemianum

[paphjoint]

Is a pretty variable species - with respect to plant size and flower coloration.
Now this one has very mottled leaves

 

[SlipperKing]

WOW! That is interesting, so mottled! the flower's dorsal is much slimmer then most as well.

 

[biothanasis]

Very beautiful flower and foliage...:clap:

I's always time to see new things. So far I wasn't aware that P. liemianum can have mottled leaves too. I own and I always saw only plants with plain green leaves.
Best regards from Germany, rudolf

I love those leaves! I thought they only came plain

I didn't know they could have plain!

Mine are mottled but in no way to this extent! :clap::clap:

I have heard that they can have mottled leaves and I've seen a few plants with a hint of mottling; but, you really had to look carefully to see it. This plant is incredibly mottled. Wow!

 

[rdlsreno]

That is true. Some are plain and some are mottled. I have one that is slightly mottled too. Nice Uri!

That's very interesting, Uri.. Truth be told, the leaves of your plant look very similar to my Chaipricha (liemianum x niveum) which has yet to bloom. But your flower is definitely a liemianum..

Nobody has remarked on the pouch, which I think is stunning. Well, the whole plant is stunning!

Nobody has remarked on the pouch...

it's 'cause we...well, i was too distracted by the mottled leaves!

 

[Drorchid]

I agree, I like the foliage on this one! This is one of my favorite cochlopetalums.

The pouch is rather clear, without the numerous spots found in typical liemianum.. Could this be a hybrid?

 

[parvi_17]

This is really, really cool! I had no idea this species could have mottling to that extent!

 

[JeanLux]

I like the flower a lot, great shape and colors!!! My liemianum seedling has plain green leaves, too ! Jean

This paphio does not look like liemianums I have seen and had so far.

This is certainly a very nice and unusual cultivar. The flower shape is not as "good" as one might wish for, but I find it appealing. Colours are nice, and the foliage is amazing for a Cochlopetalum.

If that was a hybrid, I wouldn't know which other parent would cause the strong mottling in the leaves while not influencing the flower much. I'm not aware of any other Cochlo species that would inherit such strong mottling and I can't see anything non-cochlo in the flower.

I'd be pretty proud if I'd own such a distinctive cultivar.

 

[SlipperKing]

It kinda reminds me of the varity or species kalinae but without the intensty of color and spotting of the majority kalinaes

 

[paphjoint]

Hey Guys - I've grown this plant for 10 years now
- Its from the Ise Ise region in Java - no hybrid here

 

[slippertalker]

I've never seen such a mottling on Paph liemianum before; this is quite an interesting variant! Most are pretty solid green with some variable slight mottling that that is quite faint.
