Paph. delenatii

[The Orchid Boy]

Same delenatii as here: http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29045

Shape isn't perfect but I like it, my first paph. The color is good though.



Photography isn't the best but for me, it's pretty darn good.

That is special, I am sure you are proud of it.

 

[SlipperKing]

I has great pink coloration

Nice delenatii. I like the pink pouch.

 

[papheteer]

Nice one!

 

[mrhappyrotter]

That's cute. Does it also happen to be one of the fragrant delenatiis? I've been surprised by the fact that some of them don't seem to be fragrant, while others have a fairly pronounced scent.

Very pretty -- great color.

Yes, it does have a very nice scent. Smells sort of like roses. I thought the scent was quite strong for a delenatii.

 

[Ozpaph]

well done.

Nice flower! It's touching to hear about your first one!

 

[andre]

Love the pink ones...

The second bloom opened on April 25th.



Another picture of the first bloom



Side view



Pollinated on April 25th with pollinia that I got from Leo from Paph. sanderianum 'Nov. 2012'. Trying to come up with a clonal name for my delenatii...





Neither of the blooms have faded yet.

interesting cross. Have any of parvi X sandie been made? If so, what was the outcome?

I Know Taida did afew of them some years ago, non have been awarded to my knowledge ( I am sure malipoense was one of them), and neither have I seen any pictures of one. There was a post recently with someone singing the praises of sandi x delenatii (sa???? slippers, I assume you did read above), but again I have never seen any pictures. The only one not done or flowered is with vietnamense, but that could just be because they have not flowered yet.

Here's a picture of Tom Kalina's Paph. Sacajawea's Slippers (delenatii x sanderianum). My plan is to eventually cross sanderianum back into this.

 

[Trithor]

I am not going to even ask why? (you are obviously a lot younger than I am, with a lot more time on your hands. I am even scared to watch a series on TV in case I dont get to see the end!)

 

[The Orchid Boy]

I've got at least 50 more years ahead of me. That'd get me almost to 70. I'm younger but I sure don't have a lot of time on my hands.

It´s a quite well coloured delenatii!! :clap:

 

[Dido]

Interesting cross, would like to get one of them.

Have delenatii X anitum from 2 vendors and waiting on bloom.

One for sure will need some time, as the roots was very poor, but they starting again now.
