It is a very striking plant - the one I saw at our paph show certainly polarised opinion. I see it's already been used as a parent Posted by Beam BiobeaM - https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17HdSiCPgN/

I was told by a Taiwanese grower - but I am sceptical - that the high the altitude they are grown at, the darker the colour. I'm not about to test the theory by taking my plants up the closest mountain. JL

Lovely flower. I don't think I would have questioned the label... As mentioned, PI is variable, and IMHO I would have thought that this would fall within the normal variability. JL

Love this Disa and was lucky enough to see it flowering in the wild - years ago, I hope they are still there... JL

👏👏

I received a compot and grow them in 50% bark and 50% stone, and they have been thriving. It seems that the need a mix that flushes out any excess water. Roots are particularly long for such a small species. :) JL

I'm thinking Grammatophyllum... some can develop into huge plants with long spikes of 50-100 flowers... JL

Hi Roth Is that a picture of Paph. Ruby Paradise? It's a stunner. 😍 JL

Stunning - but looks more like a sib cross of W Black Wings JL

I assume that would be Centigrade and not Fahrenheit... which would make sense. At 10-12C (50-55F), which can occur in Durban in winter, my phals become deciduous and drop their leaves. JL

👏👏👏

That is certainly different - love that elongated pouch... JL

Hi Big923 Do you have a name - my search through the RHS App proved fruitless. Thanks JL

Not a great pic of the plant at the Paph Symposium in June '23. There should be better pictures in the SA Orchids journal which is currently in print. JL

A well-deserved CCM! JL

Love the dorsal. JL

Leslie It does look odd, but the staminode looks correct in my opinion (I'll defer to the taxonomists on this point). If it does prove to be a 4N, it would make a great parent plant. JL

Super!

My 2N's don't stand a chance 😂 The 3rd pic is amazing... JL

Been offline for a while... interesting comments to read through... But to the uninitiated, can somebody explain to me where does Paph. godefroyae var ang-thong fit in... I have a couple of plants labelled as such and they are alba forms - that is, pure white with no spotting on the pouch. :)...
