Paph. concolor v. album 'First Class Charlie'

[John M]

My first album concolor. Grown in a 6" plastic net pot in 1/2 filtered perlite and 1/2 small CHC, hanging up in bright light with plenty of good air movement. Water it very often.

very nice.
Is it growing good roots in that mix?

 

[John M]

Thank you both.

To be honest, I haven't checked the roots. I didn't want to disturb it. I am keen to know; so, I'll gently poke around and have a look soon. It's been in that pot for 6 months now. It wasn't showing any sign of blooming when I transplanted it. There is a second bud, hidden by the first flower and the plant seems happy and healthy; so, I presume that the root mass/growth is okay.

The color is of course wonderful, but it also has a very nice form.

Just to echo what everyone else is saying, good color, excellent form. I can envision some interesting breeding with this one.

A very nice well grown example of forma album. I like the optimism of giving it initials FCC.

 

[Erythrone]

Cute!

Beautiful!

Thanks everybody. I was really pleased when I saw the flower. Kirk, so, you noticed the clonal name initials? LOL! Yeah, optimistic! Charlie of course, is my dog and I name a lot of good plants after him. However, I've got a REALLY good hangianum and now this plant, that needed something a little bit more than just 'Charlie'.
