Paph Fanticum

[SlipperKing]

My first effort. Not fully mature

Large bloom on a small plant.

That one seems extra dark so far.

Nice, that's a cross I'd like to concentrate on in the near future. I've had one in bud with 4 spikes for months, can't wait for it to bloom. Looks like possible 3 of the spikes will bloom together and then one afterwards.

P. Fanaticum is a really eye-catching croos and this one with its dark colouration is gorgeous - worth all your efforts Rick !!

What is the growing habit of this? does it inherit the stoloniferous growth habit of micranthum? Nice plant. I should have bought the plant that I saw in bud.

 

[biothanasis]

Great!!!!!!!!

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

That colour is just WOW!

 

[SlipperKing]

Thanks all! I originally bought 6 plants back in April or May one immediately shot out a bud sheath but has not bloomed yet! I did see a bud pushing out yesterday. This one came up without stopping.
The growth habit is a mixture of its parents; small like micranthum and it looks like one. As far as I can tell without unpotting it, no stolons but puts growths up like malipoense.

I have one that is in bud right now and I am so anxious for it to open! Looking at this photo has not helped me be patient at all! That is just beautiful!

 

[SlipperFan]

That's the darkest one I've seen. I don't think I'd have guessed Fanaticum.

 

[toddybear]
