Kevin Porter with a Bruised Ego

Poor thing… transport wardrobe malfunction lol.

But I see potential .



It’s (micranthum x bellatulum).

A very light pink puff ball.

Gimme another chance coach! I'll do better next time!

Wow~ I like that a lot!!

I may have the wrong label... the staminode doesn't look like KP (which is a oval disc, while this one has a hangianum style staminode). Thanks to my Paph friend Stan for pointing it out.

It should be (Liberty Taiwan x micranthum) which is Paph. Freedom Forever, registered by Michael Tibbs in 2023.

I don't think so. It certainly has the look of brachy x micranthum.
I highly doubt LT x micranthum, which will obviously look like a micranthum on steroid.

Possibly… no pics of the Freedom Forever anywhere to be seen.

You can just easily imagine, though. It's a backcross of micranthum primary that looks like a big micranthum back onto itself.
By the time my seedlings reach blooming size, your Kevin Porter would be a nice little clump.

This KP will plump up nicely till then lol. Maybe it will be a fatter flower!
