Great! I like the splited synsepalum!

 

[Paphluvr]

I haven't seen enough tigrinum to know, is the split synsepal the norm for this species?

 

[slippery]

I don't think it's split....looks like there are two synsepals.

I couldn't find any references in the literature on the split synsepal. The photos available on the net show no split synsepal. This clone must be special.

Thats very nice! How long was the bud sitting in the crown?

Very attractive flower! Love that synsepal.

Beautiful colours...and nice stance of the petals! (did the flower just open?)

If you need an appropriate clonal name, maybe this would do: 'Coat and Tails'

is the split synsepal the norm for this species?

No, it's not....must be a genetic variant.

My recent was the ordinary type:

Paph. tigrinum 'Guldal'

Inflorescence started three months ago.

did the flower just open ?

Yes, just open. The lateral petals should twist.
