paph delenatii from Popow Orchids

[Hien]

I bought this delenatii from Alexej on Sept 2018.
He called it delenatii Prime Giant . I am not sure whether:
1) it is one of the types they breed
2) a delenatii with clonal name Prime Giant' x sibling (I believe this is what he meant)
3) delenatii 'Prime Giant' x self
This is first time blooming for the plant ( at the end of February) the photo was taken on March 2nd , after a week the spread is 9 cm . The bloom pretty much stays at the same shape , today is day 26th from the date of the photo, the bloom starts to lose shape and brown at the tips of the dorsal & petals

1) At any rate this is a very good P. delemnati.

In this photo , Alexej showed their delenatii Prime Giant , perhaps it was bigger than other delenatii plants or flowers in existence?

Wow that deli Looks definitly huge!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

It does look to have big leaves. I will confirm with Alexej the type.

The largest deli I have is ‘Charlie’ at 11 cm.

Alexej told me he is well and will start Popow Orchids in 2023. So great news!

Ah @DrLeslieEe awesome for posting that... thanx... i'd sent a few emails but i'm sure he has been inundated with correspondence...

Thanks for the info , Leslie, good to know he will resume the activity.
I wonder why there is no listing on Ebay as well as the website for a while.
Popow always has very good plants, I really miss looking at the listing

Thanks Rudolf, hopefully I can keep the plant in good shape , I have a second plant from the same compot , but it does not grow as well as this one, for some reason it is only 1/3 the size .

yeah, the plant that Alexej carried were big, if he turned the pot 90 degree, the leaf span from tip to tip would be as wide as his body
