Paphiopedilum superbiens var. curtisii

[JPMC]

Not too sure of the real way to refer to this plant, but this is the name on the label on the plant when I bought it. From what I know, this is probably not the "true" superbiens, but it is nice.

Very!

Just stunning. Lovely looking plant too. Not every day you see a plant with more than one flower either. Mine never clumps.

Very nice in every way!

 

[SlipperFan]

Lovely. Why do you think it is not a true superbiens?

I don't usually like dark Paphs., but this one is an exception. I love it.

Mainly because of the discussion I read here:

A really fine example of the clade, wherever it falls on the taxonomic dartboard. It is rarely possible to trace most plants in the trade back to known collected specimens. Even if we could all agree it looks like a var. curtisii or a var. superbiens that wouldn't make it so. I think we can all agree it is very nice and very well grown.

i have 3 clones of the cross Paph suberbiens 'Leonhardt' x 'Maroon Marvel'. From the discussions and photos on the internet they sure seem more like curtisii or some kind of intergrade. it does not bug me in the slightest that these plants may not be a true species or may be some kind of hybrid. they grow easily with gorgeous foliage and beautiful flowers so i love them regardless

Amazing culture, great growing JPMC.

The flowers are quite nice, and I love the foliage. A beauty all year around.

Yes, its what is now known as superbiens v. curtsii. How did you get the leaves to grow upward like that?
