niveum

Recently, it has come to light that my plant, for whom I thought was a niveum album, was exposed as an ang thong, an accepted variety of godefroyae. This shocked me. The reason were because the leaves were long, wider and bent downwards (unlike niveum, which are upwards, thin and shorter) and...

First time both flowers are open at same time. NS 9 cm. Very floriferous plant, up to twice a year bloomings. The bright yellow T5 casts a golden shade over the white.

In bloom again after last year’s drama lol. Also with two flowers on one spike. NS 8 cm. Such a cute pouch. A dimple on the right petal, possibly still stretching. Let’s see what happens at judging today.

Some buds popped out this week. Exciting! Two black leucochilums, two vietnamense (one of them a dark select from OI that has blasted 2 years in a row 🤞) and the scandalous niveum album (passed at judging last year with drama). There will be a block party for April judging! At least the...

My first niveum regular type to bloom! NS 8 cm approximately. Selected by PaphParadise for me.

This little one arrived in-bud on 4/30 (I was VERY pleasantly surprised!) and over the past three weeks has progressed as follows: I can’t wait to until she blooms!

I just got a Paph Niveum barely a week ago. I’m very new to growing Paphiopedilum and orchids in general. I’m wondering if my light set up is adequate for my paph niveum. my orchid is placed around 3 meters away from north side high ceiling window. So it gets very dim light during the day. Also...
