Paph concolor alba

[orchid527]

Out of a flask from OI. Parents are "Albino Beauty" x "Albino Yellow Bird". Small plant, small flower, slow grower. Petals are 3.2 cm long, but since not flat, the NS is just 5.3 cm. It is a healthy plant with good roots, so I will likely keep it, but suspect it won't bloom again for three years. Mike

Nice one! Maybe more often than every three years, but there is some weirdness in that group of species that seems very sensitive to some sort of environmental trigger. Not sure what. Sometimes I'll get two flowerings per year, sometimes none. Not changing anything in my control...

Very similar (basically line bred concolor alba) is Quantum Light or one I registered (from Sam) as Quantum Angels. Those are very reliable bloomers for me (found three in bud today!). So if you like the species you would like those hybrids.

i like it (should these be 'flavum'?)

Lovely one ...

If the photo shows the true colouration .... at least albino like the names of both parts of the parentage and not alba.

You may be correct. I've not been very careful or accurate with the name. I just used the label on the flask. Thanks. Mike
