A little Paph. niveum

[KyushuCalanthe]

Very unusual indeed. Honestly when I first saw the shot I thought, man he really screwed up sizing that one! Pretty cool looking in my opinion!

Unusual shape, but I like it!

Admit it John, you used Photoshop or another photo editor and stretched the width of the bloom!!

Took the thoughts right out of my head -- I've never seen a niveum that looked like this one. It's amazing.

Thanks for your comments everyone. When I resized the photo to post online, I kept the aspect ratio the same; so, big photo or small, the proportions are true to real life.

That's the most, um, compressed niveum I have ever seen.. cute nevertheless..

Very nice John. I would be interested in seeing this clone bred on.

Very nice and very unusual for a niveum to be so wide. Do you know what the clonal names of the parents are? Really a superb niveum.

Sorry. I have no idea what the parent's clonal names are. I bought this plant in February 2008 from someone closing down his greenhouse. It came with a tag that just says "Paph. niveum". I have no idea where the original grower got it.
