Paph. bellatulum

Believe it or not, this is growing in S/H PrimeAgra. Purchased from Ratcliffe while they were still in the US.

Big floppy ears!

I'm trying to resurrect an old bellatulum in SH. I think it is trying.

Clean and fresh flower Dot. Has the shape of a Conco-bellatulum though.

I'm not surprised it is growing well in S/H. Mine do great as well in S/H. I agree it looks like it has a little concolor in it.

It's a lovely bloom and I like it a lot - but I'm one more guy who suspects it to be conco-bellatulum.

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

Nice, I wish I could get mine to bloom!

I guess I'll have to ask Paul Philliips about this one.

conco-bellatulum

Hi Dot,
Yes it is conco-bellatulum!!! Seems that we owe you an apology.
In fact we obtained an importation from Sun Moon Orchids via A World of Orchids. Looks like there was a mix up hmm!
Point of interest 'tho is that Phil Cribb says they are geographical variants and are in fact bellatulum.
Be interesting if ever anyone does a DNA test on them all??
Hope you still like the flower?
Regards to all
must catch up on all the gossip, life has been quite complcated over the last few months.
Been neglecting all my friends

conco bellatulum

Ouch!!
having read Dots posting a second time(properly!!) I see she states that the tag had the parentage on??
Its still a conco bellatulum but it seems a tag mix up took place. We were always very carefull when repotting but as we all know mistakes do happen???
Apologies AGAIN!!
Paul

 

[Faan]

[SlipperFan]

Thanks, Paul. I'm glad to have a positive ID.

Now I have to find a bellatulum...
