What is choi yi yuki?

 

[troy]

Chou-yi yuki, sorry about the misspelling, I like this cross!!

 

[Happypaphy7]

Niveum x hangianum

The first eburneum appears to be an alba.
Others can correct me if I am wrong.
That would be quite awesome. Photo of the leaves would help.

Oh never mind. The staminode has some spotting.
Regardless, it doesn't look like other eburneums from a web search or ones we have bloomed, labelled as such.
Maybe it is Paphiopedilum micranthum f. alboflavum

[Ozpaph]

the 'albanistic' eburneum is very pretty

 

[Marco]

Great photos. Second one looks terrible. You should send it to me!

Thanks for uploading photos!

They look good Leo. Paph micranthum are seedlings not clones.

 

[Erythrone]

Both are lovely!

Thanks Peter. Corrected

What is micranthum var. eburneum supposed to be? Does it represent a stable population with light coloring, or was it found as just one or a few isolated plants, or does the description get thrown on anything with a light pouch? What was the provenance of the plant(s) these seedlings came from? Does anyone here know if/how it was validly published?

What we seem to have here is varying degrees of albescence segregating from genetically mixed parent(s), and var. eburneum could just be part of an albescent spectrum from a variety of genetic causes. Some var. eburneum might breed true and others might not, because they aren't all the result of the same genetic combination in the first place.

There is a strain from Guan Xi China that resembles the first one. Lots of yellows and whites. Very little pinks. That is where the variety kwongsee came from. Guang Xi is pronounce as kwongsee.

I'd take any of the three. Fantastic!

What is the leaf span on your micranthum v eburneum?

So you think that's what the light one is?
