Nice Paph warscewiczianum you have there!

Robert

From what I know Phrag warscewiczianum has more brown/red coloration in it?

 

[Heather]

Sigh...

wallisii now = warscewiczeanum
warscewiczeanum now = popowii

(I think?)

Tom, if you do a popowii search you should turn up a long thread about why everything has been reclassified. Beware, dear. It's confusing and will likely give you a headache.

I sure like writting popowii on a label rather than warscewiczeanum. I never have figured out how to pronounce it.

LOL!
I've actually really been working on my latin - I know it's a "dead" language and all, but when you have people willing to donate lots of money towards a silent auction on a plant, knowing how to pronounce that plant (not to mention knowing how to grow it!) goes a long way and tends to bump the price up (or at least make it sound more valuable!)

My most recent favorite is blue eyed grass - Sisyrhinchium.

 

[bwester]

you just have to be confident. I mis-pronounce words all the time, I just do it with enough confidence that everyone else doubts what they think is right. Thats how we do it down here, If I'm gonna basterdize a word, damn it I'm gonna make it believable

 

[Marco]

ooo nice long petals

 

[Tom_in_PA]

thank you everyone.....

I think I will just leave the tag alone for a little while until all the dust settles oke:

 

[NYEric]

How long are the petals now? How old is the plant, and how many growths.

I have a small wallisii 'Dutch Treat' X self which I have had for 1 1/2 years, but it was a seedling when I got it. How long must I wait for it to bloom?

They stopped at about 14" now. I had the plant about 2 years as a seedling and it is only a one growth plant right now with about a 16" leaf span.

Good Luck Grandma
