Wossner Vietnam Gold

[Orchid-fever]

I wish I could say this was mine but it is a friend of mine, who lives in Japan. He sent the picture to me when I asked him about this hybrid. I have just found this cross (vietnamense x armeniacum) for sale here in the U.S. at Parkside nursery's website (4" pot BS for $35.00). I Might have to have one!!! Anyway enjoy the photo for now...

Looks like it ate a lemon! (sunken cheeks!)

Thanks for sharing! Really can't see much vietnamense influence there

Armeniacum is very dominant in its color. The stamoide does resemble a midway between the two species. Overall, it look great even with the dimples =)

wow that yellow is bright! I was expecting subdued colours. pink x yellow doesn't give colour usually

If I am not mistaken, Parkside import paph hybrids from Taiwan?
Would it be easier for someone in Japan to order directly from Taiwan?

I don't know if it would be easier to import them straight from Taiwan. I have noticed Parkside has a large amount of hybrids from in-charm nursery. I am just eager to see more vietnamense hybrids...it does seem that the armeniacum contributed color while the shape is more a mix. Either way I am ordering one.

That looks kinda ugly. Maybe others will flower nicer.

If I own the plant, I would be so tempted to poke a straw into the opening of the pouch & blow air into it.
Crazy as it sounds, I did use a Q-tip to push at the inside of a similar Maude type hybrid with similar problem, and it works, the pouch stays inflated.

Yeah that's on my list too. You could say it is yours and no one would know...

I've done the Q-tip thing and it didn't work on my maudiae..it's pouch was too hard...but I got some scented oil

My thought is that, the petals & sepals do not open fast enough or growing in synch with the pouch in some flowers. Then, the pouch has dimples, indentations & creases from being in cramp quarter.
