Bought these in low bud about two months ago from icepengwyn on eBay.
One is still opening up, but I was getting tired of waiting forever. lol
I like the one on the left the best, but wish it had the pouch of the other one.
The one that is opening is lacking much of the mahogany tone and very light green overall.

The leaves all have nicely checkered patteren against silvery background.

All seem very vigorous sending up new shoots already. Or is this typical of this species??

Yes, typical. Do you have the parents? I assume these are seed grown.

The blooms are nice, but the foliage is gorgeous.

Very elegant blooms. Are these in bark?

Nice, whose the source? BTW, if you can't come to the Village tonight we can go to LIC and over the bridge to the Island.

Look up on eBay. There are still some I think.
A few different sellers, but all the same batch.
St. Mary x something, and selfing at that if I remember correctly.
I'll check the tag later when I'm home.

I do like leaves on them!

QF, so I think these are from Quintal Farm in Hawaii.
All Paphs from them have come in bark and perlite, both large or power grade medium. A bit too dry for my conditions, but no worry for root rot. Gotta water often or repot into something different.

Sky Rockets AM/AOS x sib x St. Mary AM/AOS x self.
I think something is wrong with the way the information is written.

Anyway, how are you doing with your plants?
From what I read about how they grow, it seems to like wet phrag conditions?
Often found growing nearby streams.
Don't want to rot the root out. lol

Plus this one seems like true warm grower year around (over 20C) just like lawrenceanum.

 

[SlipperFan]

All 3 look good.

 

[SlipperKing]

Sky Rockets and St. Mary are grandparents in these offspring

I'd be happy.

i truly find the mottling of the leaves to be almost as delightful as the flowers
