Paph. Angelus

Amazing! I love the speckles :crazy:

I bought one of these from Blake. Maybe that's where you got yours Eric? I let mine get too dry and it died. Boohoo, now that I see how nice the cross is...

I'm certain that's where I got mine!

The spot size probably has nothing to do with using albino vs normally colored versions. Use regualr del and regular bel for VMP and you get thr same deal. In this case, the color comes through due to multiple loci for color/albinism.

Thanks for the correction Ernie. Now that I think of it all the Vanda M Pearman I have seen online are specked rather than boldly spotted. I remember seeing one with a shape more like delenatii, where the bellatulum shape is not apparant, just like this Paph Angelus

I probably got mine from Blake also!
Anyway, if I had to guess I would have said those blooms had some emersonii in them, due to the shape and color of the pouch!

Yes, when the flowers just open, the pouches have a hint of yellow in them, but when they mature they fade to white. I think the yellow comes from the armeniacum grandparent.

I would love to own that plant, beautifully grown and flowered.

After looking at a picture of my Armeni-White, there deffinitley is a difference - more spots, larger petals and different shaped pouch on the Angelus. Also the leaves are more Brachy-looking. Any one else see this? I really like it!

 

[SlipperKing]

Interesting that the shape of Armeni White is so dominant.. I don't see any hint of bellatulum at all... Nice parvi..!

The pattern of spotting in the petals must be coming from the bellatulum, Yes?

Well... i guess so.. Certainly don't expect armeniacum or delenatii to give spots...

 

[NYEric]

Wow!
Anyway, I was watering the plants and found 2 of the Angelus albums I got from Blake still going along..

 

[Candace]

Eric, you don't need 2. Send one my way.oke:

Trade what?! Maybe I'll post a photo next week but it's interesting; one has light tassellation on the leaves and the other has none!
