2 appletonianum

[Anca86]

Hi everybody,

I have two Paphiopedilum appletonianum which do not resemble too much.
What are your toughts?
LE: After looking carefully at the leaves and in the books I have, I realised that I mismatched some labels

The one with broader leaves is not appletonianum. Maybe delenatii? The other I could believe is appletonianum.

First is ho chi min or vietnamense, definitely not apple.My opinion.

Second is not apple, too.I think.

Oh boy oh boy
I suppose I have to wait for them to bloom.

The first one is a definite no, although I think the second one could be.

#1 looks like delenatii - check your purchase records

Highly likely the first one is vietnamense. The HCM has wavy leaves and darker markings. Delenatii has oval rather than round leaves.

The second one looks like some of my appletonianums, but not the hainanense types (which has lime green leaves with dark patterns). Leaves can vary much on regular types based on conditions.

Of course check against your purchase list and then when it blooms. Good luck!
