I came across a listing of spicerianum var. tibetensis. Anyone heard of, or know what the difference might be? I'm guessing regional?
Thanks Carsten - Yes it was.Is it Billy's buds?
That guy's trying to fool you, Rose..... A list like that one on that homepage makes me believe that guy is a skilled sales person...Best wishes, Carsten
Carsten, an interesting description of spicerianum V Giganteum flower. Where did you get it?
I bought a spicerianum v Giganteum off a species specialist who gets his plants from, as I understand it, very reliable sources. Yes, the plant is much, much larger than a standard spicerianum BUT the flowers are actually smaller than a normal wild spicerianum..
This is a genuine comparison of the two plants collected in the wild. Some of the outcrosses spicerianums flowering today dwarf the giganteum.
Thanks Carsten - Yes it was.
Has anyone had dealings with him/them? They do have quite a list. Hopefully some of our Minnesotians have an opinion!
I vaguely remember a listing from Rand's of Paph spicerianum var tibetensis, and it was at the tail end of the legal importation of paph species. Obviously it came from China (Tibet) as compared to the normal population in India (Bhutan) and I believe it was sold as being a bit more green than the typical tan form.
Makes me think that "var. giganteum" is just a trade name as is "var. tibentense", in fact.
Best wishes, Carsten
