Paphiopedilum vietnamense

[dan_t]

Hi all. Here's my first flowering of Paph vietnamense. It's got another bud hiding behind a petal as well!
It's a shame the petals aren't quite right, but the colour of the pouch is great.

yes, the dorsal and the pouch are very nice!!! I have 3 of them and all have (had) somewhat (more or less) pending petals! Jean

I think it's darling, there's something very charming about the more natural shape.

Wish mine would spike but then this species is worth growing for the foliage alone.

 

[Hakone]

very nice , thanks :rollhappy:

 

[Rick]

I think its very nice.

The petal reflex may be a distraction, but it symmetrical.

Love that pouch!

 

[nikv]

I'm gonna have to get myself one of these!

All in all it's a neat P. vietnamense. P. vietnamnese with a perfect flower stance are quite rare and therefore you should be pleased.
Best regards from Germany, rudolf

Mr. Popow has some of the most beautiful vietnamense stud-plants, in variation of color intensity/location/pattern on the pouch. Just to see them, would make anyone wants to commit to collect different versions of this species alone.

How sweet! You're right, the pouch is great!

Hi Hien,
my P. vietnamense is from Mr. Popow but alas it isn't a special selected clone. I will be in his nursery either in one week time or with higher probability on January 6th.
A visit in his greenhouses is always worth a 300 km drive so I didn't choose to get the purchased plants via postage.
Best regards from Germany, rudolf

You are indeed still very lucky (even it is a 3 hrs drive) I would have to swim across the Atlantic ocean.
I would imagine finding myself at his greenhouse many many times, if I live in Germany.

Great pouch. I think the form isn't so bad. And if it's a first bloom, it'll probably be better next time.

 

[jblanford]

I think it looks pretty good, and maybe better next time. Thanks Jim.

 

[NYEric]

Decent color and w/ 2 blooms on such a small plant - Wonderfull!
Please let us know how long it stays in bloom [USA vs World source], thanx.

 

[dan_t]

Thanks for all the nice comments!

It is a young plant, so I'm hoping again that the form will improve. Will tell you how long it stays in flower, but I've taken pollinia so it may affect bloom time.

I'd be happy with a vienamense that bloomed! It should get better!

 

[dan_t]

I've just had a smell of it, just in case - it has a fantastic perfume!! I never knew this species had a perfume! I assume I was just ignorant, or is this not common? :drool::drool:
