Paph Formosa Lady

[emydura]

You have to be happy with a sanderianum hybrid that flowers every year. Especially when it also includes rothschildianum and praestans. Just a great grower. The next step is to get the growths a bit bigger so it can push out a fourth flower.

The way the petals are held out looks really cool!

That is one of the nicer multi flower Paphs I've seen lately!

when I look at the petals, somehow they make me think of the image of Body Builders flexing in competion.

LOL. Yes it reminds me of a flexing body builder as well. I do like the broad imposing shoulders on this clone.

Nice one David.

Thanks Howard. I don't understand it either. My Paphs are very seasonal flowerers. I could set my calender by them. My multi's pretty well all flower between late October and December. Except this one. It always flowers at this time of year - mid to late Autumn (from at least 4 flowerings). It has never flowered at any other time. Is it the sanderianum? Is this species an autumn flowerer?

Very nice....

I agree with Hien...

If I'm not mistaken, sanderianum bloomings are triggered by very warm days (~35 degrees Celsius), which is not exactly the conditions experiences during autumn in Australia...

Beautiful plant!
Flowers like this every year, thats a keeper!:clap:

 

[SlipperKing]

Dang! I'll take that David!

 

[Shiva]

There's certainly nothing wrong with that one. Beautiful!

An excellent example of the cross. The dorsal doesn't have a single wave in it. I love it.
