Another seedling Paph

[Roy]

This has just opened today and still not set but I'm not sure if it will be flowering here again.
Its quite small, about bellatulum size, it might get bigger, who knows, time will tell.
Paph In-Charm Pearl.

really a nice one Roy; fine shape, and I like the yellow with the fine purple spotting!!! Jean

 

[Bolero]

Paphiopedilum wenshanense x Paphiopedilum In-Charm White

It's an interesting cross Roy, I really love the flower. It's definitely one worth keeping.

That's different! I think it could grow on me!:clap:

...I think it could grow on me!:clap:

Yeah, but you'd get wet every time it needed water...:rollhappy:


Very nice btw Roy; I like the coloration.

 

[biothanasis]

Very very beautiful!!!!!!! I like the combination of white and green petals!!!!

 

[SlipperFan]

Very nice. Charming (well named).

 

[Ross]

The stippling is very nice, but the petals and dorsal are not as full as some others of this same cross. Still, the flower is pleasing to the eye.

Here are some pictures from In-Charm for comparison.

unique - I really like this look!

Very interesting. not quite what I've had expected (and you too, apparently), but I have to agree with the others it has its charm.

Would I keep it if I were you? Depends, on how many more you have to come from that cross, actually.

Best wishes, Carsten

Carsten, I only had 2 plants of the cross, the first one flowered 2 years ago and was almost identical to this BUT it was in a 50mm pot and didn't survive the flowering. This one I will flower again if I can but its on the endangered list.

 

[labskaus]

Good luck with it then, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Best wishes, Carsten

 

[NYEric]

Definitely interesting.

Update on color change

Members were interested in whether or not the flower would whiten up after it had been out for a while, well here is a pic I took today of this seedling. Not only has the color changed but also the shape.

 

[JeanLux]

great change!!! good, that some of the yellow/ green remains!!! Jean

 

[goldenrose]

Sorry I disagree with 'great change', IMO the early opening color & shape was much better.

Rose, I did not pretend (or did not want to pretend) that the change was to the good side!! Jean

 

[NYEric]

I would like it if it stayed the contrasting green/white colors!

In Charm Pearl = (wenshanense x (leucochilum x White Knight))
2 doses of brachys I would have expected a much rounder flower. White Knight isn't a consistient parent for round flowers. I've seen this in seedlings I purchased too. A bit of a disappointment.
