Malipoense

[GuRu]

Excellent flower of a Paph. malioense in toto, colouration, shape and stance. Congrats.

.........This plant is too big to my liking. The leaves are 9-10inch long each!

Maybe only strong plants can carry such beautiful flowers.....something comes from something.

You have it all there. Is there any chocolate along with the raspberry? A malipoense sundae.

Malipoense sundae! haha

In low bud again finally!
Rather odd timing to spike for the species. will see how long it will take to flower.
In the meantime, I am accepting pollen of a nice chunky malipoense with pouch that does not hang low or tilted downward and preferably with fragrance.
I have a plant from Bears breeding in high bud that should open up within the next one month, so fingers crossed!

1. One in bud (first timer) Given by the size of it at this stage, it will be on the large side. hoping for good shape!
2. The giant in low spike

 

[Happypaphy7]

The bud looks like it’s going to take another month to open up fully.
Such a torture!!
I am very curious if the big malipoense will bloom in the middle of summer or before the summer. It has never spiked so late like this.

Ouch these are painfully slow bloomers. It makes seeing them bloom even more wonderful.

My guess is that it will bloom much faster but less beautifully.

Excellent growing. and such a beauty.

That's my worse fear and it probably has a high chance to become the reality.
Let's see what I get. I will cross it with a fat chunky malipoense regardless assuming the genes (thus the potential) are still there with the plant.

Thanks! Hope it opens up to be a fat chunky flower I've been searching for!

Yes they were very mildly scented.

Definitely chunkier than my other one, but more funny than chunky at this stage. Still not fully open yet.
Really testing my patience.


**Replaced the dark blurry photo from last night to this one taken in the morning. The color is very off. It is nice and green in person.

Anticipation... is keeping me waiting! It will get there one day.
