A NOID alba Paph...

[blueovalgal]

It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I've enjoyed reading the posts when I had time to do so...

This is a paph I found at Lowes this past weekend... I hope you like it as much as I do! Not bad for $11. Barbara

It's nice. Too bad it's NoID.

Nope, looks like a good deal.

Does anyone think there could be some venestrum in it?

If I'm correct this wouldn't really be considered an alba, would it? More of a maudie wouldn't you think?

 

[Bolero]

I would suspect some venustum with maybe a Maudiae type.

It's difficult to say what it would be exactly.

Oops! So sorry. I assumed that, since there was no color and just green, that it was automatically an alba. I think I need to pull out my orchid books and relearn the correct terminology!

No, you are quite correct. This would be considered an alba (Maudiae type), as opposed to a coloratum or vinicolor.

Good shape and color. Something to enjoy.
