Easter Swan with Uncle

[DrLeslieEe]

Swimming in the ‘sea’ of brachys is this swan. Anyone can guess who she is? Hint: brachy album species previously posted last year .

I would have guessed godefroyae untill I saw uncle niveum in the last pic?

Almost there!! So close!

 

[Guldal]

A case of: I say godefroyae, You say leucochillum? Potato, tomato....

 

[Guldal]

Inbetween godefroyae and niveum, we have ang-thong?

 

[Guldal]

And now I think, I've exhausted my three wishes....and am very worried that I be turned into a pumpkin!

 

[Ozpaph]

concolor?

Genie says your 3 wishes are done. You are currently a pumpkin lol.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

concolor?

Not quite but look similar!

Paph. niveum album.........the foliage could also say Paph. bellatulum album, but the long upright stem doesn't fit to this species......after so many guesses failed, there aren't much left over.

here are my thoughts:
stem looks too tall for bellatulum album
leaves looks too green for xwenshanense album
stem looks too thick for niveum album
stem not hairy enough for delenatii
plant looks too big for thaianum album
godefroye; angthong; concolor already ruled out
so I would set my money on leucochilum album

Very good objective trait observations!

There is one flaw in one of the statements. But otherwise close! I also thought leucochilum album too until I saw the tag .

Indeed you hit jackpot! It’s the niveum album we bred with your pollen! Still in flasks.

That was my second guess:

That was my second guess:

Jens, keep calm....I'm generous and gonna share the jackpot with you !

I'm sure there will be a pot of gold for both of us at the end of the rainbow, Rudolf! i was just making such a fuss to be unpumpkined!!!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

With sadness, I have to report a casualty due to my absence at Tamiami. The buds blasted… so sad.
