Paph. Druid Spring

[nikv]

Hello,

This is a Paph. Druid Spring that I recently picked up from potterychef1 on eBay. The flower is intermediate between the the species, primulinum and druryii. I'm liking it. It appears to take after the sequential-blooming primulinum in that there is a second bud coming along.

Best Regards,
Nik

These seem to be very consistant from plant to plant
and always pretty nice.

Very attractive!

Nice wide dorsal. Both parents are relatively small flowers. What's the ns of the dorsal and the overall flower?

I'll measure when I get home from work.

You have a good one, Nik -- great dorsal!

The dorsal measures 1-3/4 inches across at its widest point. The petal spread is 2-7/8 inches as you see it in the photos. More if I would straighten them out. The dorsal and petals are cupped like druryii. I've never seen a pure druryii flower but I think they tend to be smaller in size. Same with primulinums. I'm guessing that hybrid vigor is the reason for the flower size that we see here.

Thanks everyone for your comments!

That's a very nice primary !!! I really like both parents. I haven't gotten a druryii yet but hopefully I'll have one in a couple of weeks. Again; congrats on the bloom !!!
