I got a new entry here! it is just arrived
Paphiopedilum Delophyllum ( Delenatii x Glaucophyllum )







 
Omg!!! Is the color real??
Very nice!
The color does fade out a bit after a flower has been open for few days.
Would love to see it open and how the color stays.
 
It's still not open all the way??
But that color is fantastic!!!!

Please grow it well and send me a division in the future.

I think that the problem is that the flower was opening during the transport from Germany to Italy.. And if that was not enough the shipping has delayed

the flower is ''locked'' in that way
 
Oh, well, what can you do?
but you have more buds to open and hopefully they will open up normally.
Time will tell.
For now, at least you know that it has great deep pink color, which is not common for this type of hybrids at all.
Most often, they are very pale pink.
 
There is only 1 flower this is not awardable!!! haha j.k. very nice color, looks promising!!!
 
They must of used the dunkel (vinicolor) variety of delenatii in this cross. I'm surprised nobody has jumped on this idea. In other words, you can all have one if you look for the right cross.
