yet Paph. callosum ?

[GuRu]

I bought this plant as Paph. barbatum but now when she's flowering for the first time I'm not completely sure of it's identidy. The warts on the petals and the stance of the petals make me doubt. Furthermore there are too many pictures of true and false Paph. barbatum in the net. What do you think about its identidy ?

Would call it callosum......

If you had said it was a callosum I wouldn't have questioned it.

Hmm, does't look like a pure callosum to me as well. I would guess it is a mix of both species...

Hi Rudolf, it is a nice colored flower for sure, but I don't think it is pure barbatum.
For me, sigmoid or more pendant petals are a sign for callosum genes, while in barbatum I am always looking for petals that spread almost horizontally.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

The leaves look like my barbatum and not callosum. The flower is almost intermediate as the petals arch up at ends. So DirGo and Fibre might be correct in their assumptions.

Would call it callosum......

I agree

I like the long stem!
