fowliei time again... same plant flowering.

Hi Jens, there is too much choice when selecting a name for a horticultural epithet based on flower color: albescens (becoming white), flavescens (becoming yellow), virescens ( becoming green), alboviride (white/green), alboflavum (white/yellow), album (white), pallescens (becoming pale) ...

Hey Leslie, what an amazing article ! Very interesting reading material ! I can only wish that one day you will cover all other species with the same level of detail ! :-)

Prime reason I became a ST supporting member is because I love all the wonderful people on this forum and I really hope to keep this forum alive forever so we can all enjoy the great expertise that is freely shared. Additional benefit I discovered is the fact that for this small contribution you...

Update: This is the same flower stem from the Sept 22nd post but the 2nd bloom which was a small bud then now fully opened. It completely changes the picture!

Thank you for sharing your setup and culture, very useful information for all of us !

what a wonderful result ! could you also share how you grow your micranthums?

Hi Mario, I hope you allow a personal opinion when asking for comments. It is definately a beautiful well grown plant with with nice colored flowers. For me, the most beautiful spicerianums always have their typical rounded "pagoda-like" flag curves, as if they want to protect the pouch opening...

Thank you Rudolf for your comments. Reviewing Kew info and Gruss' 2020 book I can find your point of view. I was using information from Guido Braem's 2016 book. Whenever touching subjects where taxonomists differ in view, you know you are on a "slippery" road. You can always expect a cold voice...

Another albino family member I like to introduce: Paph. xang-thong fma album / Paph. Greyi fma. album Paph. xang-thong is the natural hybrid between Paph. godefroyae and Paph. niveum Paph. Greyi is the the artificial hybrid between Paph. godefroyae and Paph. niveum Considering this a cross...

Thank you to Jens and Ole for bringing back the peace in my tread and putting it back on topic of commenting on the pictures. Lets close the above for further updates. I really always really appreciate both your great contributions.

Well Darlene, THAT is impressive!!! As you might know, I am hooked on species albino's and this one I find the hardest to maintain in a good condition. Rarely seen such a nice multigrowth plant like that. I would love to learn from you on how you grow and bloom it. I know botanically it might be...

As I am growing fully in house, providing extra cool nights or a bigger day/night differences is always a challenge. I always aim 'intermediate' and hope that both the extra heat loving and extra cold loving will be a little flexible for me. Honestly, most cool growing in my collection are a...

here it is again, same plant flowering... definately no drop in temp... in fact surviving heat wave while in bud. I was affraid it would blast, specially as the bract started to dry up. Only one flower on a multi growth plant BUT very happy it came through :-)

I am no botanist/biochemist, so please allow for some errors in my "Fred Flintstone simple reply". To the best of my knowledge: The biosynthetic pathway to create red pigment in plants requires at least 6 steps. If a plant cannot perform any of these 6 steps it will fail in producing the red...

My Paph. rotschildianum 'OZ x sib' , same plant blooming in 2020 en now again.

Hi Eric, I think we are aligned, but I considered it an albino because of lacking red pigments, so then there is also the besseae's flavum form to consider as albino, which sadly is still missing in my collection :) The rest of my collection is Paph's but I really like this one, so I cherish...

First flowering of my only album/albino Phragmipedium in my otherwise mostly Paph collection. Bought in 2019 as a seedling and very happy with it.

found these as 2 oldest registered in 1893 x spicerianum = Faroultii x Superciliare = Massaianum

Thank you Eric, but really no need, I already have five very small seedlings of Paphiopedilum sanderianum fma. album on order, I bought them on ebay for 5.000 euro each from scammer564, and it is now twenty four weeks I am waiting for them to arrive... every time the delivery guy rings at the...
