Paph Catherine Briois

[Linus_Cello]

I saw this at the farmer's market and couldn't resist. There was another one that was potentially better (it was just opening, so couldn't tell the shape as well; the flower was taller, and I think the plant was bigger, but the leaves narrower). I should have bought both? I'll have to see if they bring it to another farmer's market. They had several for sale, so if you're in the DC area:

You'll probably always wonder, but this is quite nice.

Nice one. I would say if you had a gut feeling that you should've, then yes you probably should have gotten both. I still regret not going with my instincts several times. You will always wonder(as I still do,) but of course it may not have been better.

Nice!

That's a really nice farmer's market find. Congrats. Yup, if I was going to buy any, I'd have bought both. Once I decided which I liked best, I'd have sold the other one or used it in a trade. There's always people looking for a nice, white Paph.

What sort of farmers grow such beauties??

 

[Trithor]

Cool find, well done!

 

[NYEric]

Very nice. Not a lot of Parvis at NYC farmers' markets, I suppose.

 

[Linus_Cello]

Floradise usually sells at the paph forum, but this year they had a greenhouse emergency and couldn't come. They also sell at the fall NCOS show.

Or you can visit them in Gordonsville, Va! (between Charlottesville and Richmond, closer to Charlottesville) Nice folks.

Finally had time to upload pics.
This started reblooming in may, and the second flower just dropped last week.

 

[NYEric]

Nice, this, along with Becky Fouke and Armeni White, are great consistent easy growing white Parvi hybrids!

 

[SlipperFan]

I'd like to see this with the light on the front of the flower.

Excellent find Linus! I adore white flowers and I would have taken one off your hands.

I'd like to see this with the light on the front of the flower.

[Linus_Cello]

Sorry. I took the pics back in May, and the flowers fell off last week. Will have to take better pics the next time it blooms.

This year's first bloom (alas a previous spike aborted)

 

[Ozpaph]
