Pair of Paph Philippinense

[JimNJ]

Pair of philippinenses. I particularly like the compact size of the plants. While the petals are not as long as I was hoping for, the regular form is about 13-14 inches leafspan. The album is only about 8 or 9 inches total leafspan.

The normal one is very colorful! I also have one of this compact albas. Seems to be wrong size for a Philli in person.

Thanks! It’s nice that the Alba form is small. There’s a phil var compactum aureoviride that’s been reported - I wonder if this could be in the background for what we have.

Looks like a compactum is a possibility for your aureoviride. Plants can range in size I find from 6-10 inch leafspan.

That’s good to know. What I noticed from the article by Olaf Gruss is a photo of a philippinense compactumwith a reddish lip. I didn’t appreciate there was such a variant of philippinense.

both have nice form. They need to be bigger plants to show there best

Nice! The petals on the regular form look like they have good substance! What’s the breeding?
