Hi all, greetings from London.
Here are some pictures of autumn blooms that are now finished.
The first is actually last years pic of a NoID I think is Paph. Juno (any suggestions ?). I have previously posted this on another forum. This years
flowers were slightly bigger and darker but one had an assymetric pouch with a
vertical green stripe?
My first P. henryanum. I think I have been giving this one too much light, the leaves are on the yellow side ... new leaves ok though. The dorsal and petals
hadn't quite finished stretching out ... but still the dorsal a bit smaller than I expected.
The last one is P. dayanum "vinicolor" X barbigerum. This was bought in flower. I was hesitant about posting this as the photo is poor. The photo was taken in afternoon sun against a yellow background ... the result was bad. I have toned down the background (see yellow halo around stick) but
colour of the flower which I have not adjusted is not accurate ... it is more
purple-red ... the blue hues have been suppressed by the yellow light?
Cheers,
Tim
