Rare Paph hybrid ????

[Roy]

Would like to know if any in the forum had flowered or seen plants of this cross. I bought it from a nursery who had unusual crosses or the ones that no-one else had.
Paph Neeri-Glow - sukhakulii x praestans.

I have seen this X..I actually have one. I think Rayb has bloomed one..not for sure. Where I got mine , there were lots of big multi-growth ,healthy plants but I did not find one that had previously bloomed ?? I figured it was hard to bloom ?? Congrats on your bud !

 

[Roy]

Gilda, now you have me worried, wondering if is correct by label. The plant resembles suk' to some degree, not a large growth at all. What were the plants like you saw and have please.

Not to worry...I think yours is labeled correctly...mine has the same foliage as yours..as did the others at the nursery. When I said large , I didn't mean roth size..only that they should have been blooming !! I will photo mine shortly..after I have had more coffee !
Here is a link to Ray's Neeri_Glow

Thanks Gilda. Thats better. You need coffee, I thought I would need a scotch. ( I'll have one anyway )

 

[Heather]

Hehe....Interesting exchange you two!

I'm curious to see the blooms now!

 

[Roy]

I'm wondering why Gilda needs more coffee too.

I'm wondering why Gilda needs more coffee too.

It was 6 ish in the AM here when I first read the post ...I don't function till I have had several cups of coffee...it is just now getting daylight oke:! Now where did I leave that coffee cup...scotch might be good in my coffee this morning....a nasty cough kept me up most of the night. Cheers !

 

[Roy]

Forget the coffee, scotch is better for fighting off infection, thats my story & I'm sticking to it.
Was the nasty cough good looking???

My Neeri_Glow

Roy,
Here is a picture of my Neeri-Glow ..no bud on mine:sob:
No, the nasty cough was not attractive !oke:

Gilda, Just an FYI, the links you put up to the other forum don't work if you're not a member there. Many of us peons aren't able to see the photos.


Roy, I think I've got this one too and my leaves look like Gildas. I'll have to double-check to make sure but I think I divided it this year(by accident while repotting).


edit: I double-checked and this is Neeri-Glow.

Roy, I'm wondering if yours is labeled correctly.

Sorry ,didn't realize that...

 

[Roy]

Gilda & Candace, thanks for the pics. My pic is bad but looking at your pics, my plant is exactly alike. Over exposure on mine destroyed the leaf color and pattern. I can safely say mine is correct. Won't belong before I hopefully can show the flower.

Thanks again.

Update on the flowering of this Paph seedling.
Here is a pic of the spike as it is today, 2 flowers. They look interesting.

came across this while looking at an old page,photo of my plant of Neeri Glow`Grubs`

Very nice, Jim... Looks like a miniature Iantha Stage. I have a Recovery (suk x phili) which I hope will turn out as nice, when it blooms...

 

[SlipperFan]

Lovely foliage.

 

[Gilda]

I think I may have bloomed mine this year...will have to check . I don't rem. it being a wowzer though. I rem. thinking, "I waited for this "!:wink:

Was it "I waited for THIS?!" !?
