Paphiopedilum stonei var. alba Pic request

[s1214215]

Hi

Does anyone have a pic of Paphiopedilum stonei var. alba 'Formosa' CHM/TPS? Or even just an Paphiopedilum stonei var. alba

I have been offered a flask of Paphiopedilum stonei var. alba 'Formosa' CHM/TPS x self and mulling it over. Bit hard though as I have never seen a pic

Please post a pic if you have it.

Brett

I am sorry to have to tell you that (as far as I know) there is NO Paph. stonei var "alba". The pictures on the net that I have found show a wilted, overall more or less lightly coloured flower with DISTINCT darker markings on the lateral petals. I hope you did not pay too much for that flask. It is also remarkable that the picture is kept very blurred (to fool possible customers?). Some years ago, there was a picture about showing a "yellow" stonei. That was obviously "produced" on a computer.

Hi Pete,

In the thread I linked too, you mentioned your friend had bloomed some. Were you referring to stonei album or did I read it wrong?

Well, that is definitely not an albino ... the lateral petals have distinct dark spots ...

I would take 'Formosa' over what appears to be the album in Barry's link.

Hi

Thanks for the pics.. I am waiting on the flask seller to contact me with a pic of the plant.. I told them at $250 for a flask, I want parent pics. Would a form like this be worth that? I am a little new to paphs, but some good forms do seem to sell at high prices I have seen.

that is not the picture that I saw on the web ... and "nice" is very subjective. A normal stonei is much nices than a one-time aberrant form ...
The flask is interesting to see what comes out of it in the next generation.

äääääähhhh... I did not say it is the picture you have seen, did I?

on the other hand, I said Nice! and yes, for me it is nice any insinuation there that it should be nice for you? nope!

That stonei in Barry's link remind me of the the pale kind of celery you get if you put the plants in total darkness. The upper 2 flowers look like they have been forced open.
