Paph. callosum

[Martin]

Hi Folks,

I got some Paph. purpuratum 6 month ago. Now they have flowered and turned out, I think as callosum.

Nice. Yes, definately not a purpuratum. It doesn't look 100% callosum to me. The dorsal is very different. A collusum hybrid I would say.

Yup. 'Looks like a callosum hybrid to me. There's something not right with the spots on the petals. I think there's too many and they're not confined to just the upper margins. Basically, the vendor sold you a bunch of NoID Paphs. They are very pretty though.

gorgeous!

They are pretty, but I do not see any trace of purpuratum in them. I'd question the seller.

Looks like Vietnamese callosum.

very nice... I think they are callosum. This species is extremely variable...

I make 3....I agree with callosum from Nam.

Not straight callosum for me. As far as I know... pure P. callosum has spots only in the upper margin of the petals (Am I wrong? Please, correct me if I am). Moreover... those dorsal sepals are a bit different from the callosum sepal (even for such a variable species).

Greetings

I've seen the exact same spotting pattern in Vietnamese callosum.

Not ordinary callosum. Perhaps a variety??

Thanks for yopur opinions. I think thesuggestion of vietnamese callosum should fit! More plants are in bud, I will show pics here, when they bloom.

Wow, I'm a Parvi person but I really like those plants. If you ever want to get rid of some...
