Who am I?

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

I have a 14 inch leaf span and the top of the bud is 8 inches from the substrate.

Photo of whole plant:


Photo of top of the leaf:



Photo of bottom of leaf: leaf width is 7/8 of an inch.



Photo of the stem emerging:



Photo of fat bud that is 1 and a quarter inches long:



The white on the photos is from hard well water. I know what it is labeled but won't know for sure until it opens.

Henry?

 

[troy]

Hhmmm in the paph sub section , villosum?

 

[troy]

I take that back there is no pigmentation on the plant base

Looks like henryanum to me. Shine a light through the bud and I bet you'll see the spots.

 

[JeanLux]

emersonii!? Jean

 

[NYEric]

That's a better guess. hang?

 

[Bjorn]

Lax growing for a henryanum. Understand why you were in doubt Bob.

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Bjorn, what does Lax mean?

 

[Bjorn]

Among other things Los Angeles international airport, but what I mean is a bit drooping, elongated and less strickt upwards than most. Is it a division? That would fit the growth habit later on I am certain that it gets a bit more compactnow we all wait to see the flower.

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

No this is not a division, but rather a seedling purchased from Ten Shin Orchids.

 

[Chien]

From the bud, I would say it is henryanum, but the leaves are wider than mine.

So here it is!
Bob, I wouldn't have trouble believing this is henry, although it is a bit bigger than usual.

Someone in the other thread mentioned charlesworthii and helenae, but I don't think so. Definitely not charlesworthii leaves or sheath covering.

This is fun.

We will find out very soon I guess.

Keep us posted.

Oh goodness, these waiting games just kill me. I have no
idea what it might be, but I'm trying to wait patiently. Tell
it to hurry up...of course, not like Paphs. pay attention or
anything.

 

[SlipperKing]

It could very well be this Bob.

That looks like a henry hybrid.
