This paphio is absolutely not what I bought and I suspect very strongly crossed with a cochlo ...
Bought for kolopakingii, great sheets of 30 to 40 cm of length rather plain light green.
The first flower of 4 (only two hatched the moment) was completely deformed (see photo) the 2 em is normal but not in a kolopakingii !!.
What do you think about it ?







La déformée..:

I guess it is Paph. Shireen.

 

[Trithor]

Definite cochlo cross. Nice dorsal colour and patterning. Going to be difficult to identify for sure.

 

[slippertalker]

It does look a lot like Paph Shireen (philippinense x glaucophyllum). There are several similar crosses it could be also.

 

[SlipperKing]

The dorsal reminds me of praestans X cochlo cross.

 

[goldenrose]

I think ALL those buds are fantastic! Too bad it's not what you expected, but definitely a cochlo cross of sorts.

 

[PaphMadMan]

Paph Lawless Tristan maybe (kolopackingii x glaucophyllum). Something about it does look like a kolo cross to me. Some stray cochlo pollen made its way into an intended kolopackingii breeding maybe? Don't re-use those toothpicks!

Last photo -- poor thing!

 

[nathalie]

A breeder said to me, he think it's come to is nursery and it's
Deena Nicol (philippinense x praestan) x chamberlainianum.
I think it's good...what do you think ?

 

[Trithor]

Deena Nicol x chamberlainianum sounds about right

 

[fibre]

Deena Nicol x chamberlainianum sounds about right

I would agree

Somebody finally succeeded at crossing a paph with a Bulbophyllum!

Yes we must cross them together !!! And make a new paph !!!

 

[polyantha]

Its a rare type of deformation. The dorsal is a petal, usually the petals are deformed and look like the pouch.

That's exactly what it looks like! Does it like it warm & wet too?
