Two of my own

Hi all

I purchased a NFS plant labelled as P Magic Lantern about 8 months ago. It's in flower now and I think it's beautiful, damn near perfect and I want your opinion;

Is this Paph Magic Lantern or delenatii?

I also have another plant in flower which isn't overly attractive. The plant survived some mishandling over Winter and manged to produce flower in spite of me . It purports to be Paph bellatulum x Dellense.

Cheers all

Hmmm. dunno about that first one. I'd say not Magic Lantern. What about Lynleigh Koopowitz? Nah....maybe just delenatii? But the pouch is so long and narrow... Gorgeous, whoever it is!

It looks like the tags are reversed. Magic Lantern on bottom...E.

I would guess the first one really is a Paph. Magic Lantern, look at the overlap of the pouch under the staminodial shield... typical of Paph. micranthum... maybe your plant was epihpytic and fell out of the ugly tree?

The second is quite attractive though...
