Illegal plants can never produce legal seedlings! Also a nursery cannot legalize it. But good luck with. It will be interesting to see the blooming result!

Tervää, I wish a nice time here together with the Pahiofriends.

The plants are really huge. These were the result of inline-breeding. Only Paph. delenatii were involved. He is an excellent cultivator. The plants are not in trade. Perhaps it will be possible to buy flasks of in the next years.

Just at present there is hardly any problem with the literature on the genus Phragmipedium. Rather on the genus Selenipedium. There are three well-founded publications on the genus Phragmipedium with a wealth of information, two of them in English and one in German. Some of them were prepared in...

Here you can see 2 of the 8 plants which came with 3 flowers together with the owner and breeder Burkhard Gralher, Germany.

Through targeted selection and breeding, it has been possible to breed Paphiopedilum delenatii plants that develop 3 flowers on one inflorescence and open at the same time. The breeder Burhard Gralher in Germany is now trying to stabilise and possibly increase this multiflorosity through further...

The base for determination is the description which was published in Gardener's Chronicle‘ n.s. 20: 684; 1883. On the base of these words I would say that your plant is Paph. philippinense var. roebbelinii. When loo then also to the old prints then you confirm this decision. Here a picture...

Since it is a single plant and a genetic deformation, it does not make sense to describe a new forma or variety. It is more sensible to use the name of the clone, as was done with the other plant. An article was written about this Paphiopedilum 'Mantas' and I hope it will be published soon...

The clone is really different from all the other clones of Paph. insigne. So the owner proposed the clonal name 'Mantas' for it. Since it is a single plant and a genetic deformation at that, it does not make sense to describe a new forma or variety. It is more sensible to use the name of the...

Kew splitted them in 2 species, but want we follow this decision? In truth leucochilum is nothing more than a colordorm of godefroyae with the correct name Paphiopedilum godefroyae forma leucochilum (Rolfe) Braem & Chiron 2003 Paphiopedilum: 104; 2003 Basionym: Cypripedium godefroyae var...

You are right Terry, it is kovachii with besseae. I have made a mistake. When you have these palnts in culture then you can observe the great distance between the growths and the climbing style of these plants. Olaf

Here another clone

Here a group (12 plants) of Phragmipedium Fritz Schomburg, (dalessandroi X kovachii) shown and cultivated by Franz Glanz. Got a silvermedal last weekend. Best greetings from Germany Olaf

Here the hybrid, created in the valley of Tiroler Ache. Phrag Tiroler Ache = richteri X Hanne Popow Here the typical color and the yellow form.

The typeplant had also these leaves. The description of the forma based on the coloration of the flower. You can find also other albine clones of different species with typical leavecoloration.

The correct name for this colorform is Paph. wenshanense forma album. It was described in Orchidee (Hamburg) 53: 383 (2002) by me and Mr. Petchleung who had found the plant first time. Really a wonderful clone.

The hybrid was made a long time ago 1975 by W.W. Wilson registered as Paph. Mishtawayawininiwak. Here another clone, made around 2000

So see you in Apopka.

Here you can see an other Phrag. Conchiferum - caricinum x longifolium

I will be in Dresden. If it is possible to give a presentation, I don't know. Bur I coud ask Canh, ifhe would be interested tocome also to Germany for a talk.
