So More Paph blooms this fall!
Paph Saint's Within (rothschildianum x philippinense).
This is a division I received from a member in this forum around summer this year. It is still recovering slowly as its roots are still getting established. But it is quite a beauty. The flowers are smaller considering it was just divided. I am hoping in its next bloom, probably 2 years from now, there will be 4 or 5 flowers.
Paph Harold Koopowitz (P. rothschildianum 'Bloomington' x P. malipoense 'Sam's Choice)
I have had this plant for over 1.5 years. It had mealy bug infestation when I first got it and it stunted its growth a little. But now it has been growing spectacularly. This is its second bloom. The bud and flower stem took over 7 months to develop and it is still opening up as we speak. It is quite a giant with simply amazing. The only complaint I have is that I wish it has deeper striations in its dorsal petal. I am considering crossing this with my Paph Katrina or the to see if it will impart the patterns into its white dorsal
Paph Green Warden (Oso Verde x Lady Margaret Thatcher) x P. (Stone Lovely x Pacific Shamrock)
I got this at the Midwest Orchid Festival almost 2 years ago. I got a deal for $20 for 3 because the seller was trying to get rid of them, 1 of the seedlings died to erwinia and the other is BS and should bloom in 6 months. It is a cross of basically all the famous big white, yellow, green bulldog complex hybrid combined into one. This is its first bloom with 2 mature growths and 2 new growths behind it. It is currently around 4.5 inch across. I am hoping the next blooms it will get even bigger hopefully 6 inches to 7 inches if I fertilize right. I am hoping to cross this with a henryanum or tigrinum or Harold Koopowitz just to see what would happen.
Paph glaucophyllum (AWOO AM/AOS x Kerry Richards)
I got this plant from Tim Culbertson at Oceanside Orchid Nursery. He has really good and healthy plants. This is a second bloom and bloomed inside my indoor green house cabinet and it is intensely pink already. I think if I had let it bloom outdoors and allow cooler night temp, the pink color will get even more intense. This flower is actually quite big 2.78 inch across. I might actually use it to do a cross with my Sander's Pride to make something similar to the Paph Landmark but not exactly or Saint's Within to get a super pink pouch.
