Paph. Fumi's Delight

[Drorchid]

This Fumi's Delight is made with micranthum var eburneanum. The colors are lighter than a regular Fumi's Delight, and also the plant itself is more compact; the plant is growing in a 2.25" pot!

It is actually quite a nice cream (?) flower.
How the plant can support such a big flower is difficult to understand.
I think it is possible to have your soup out of that pouch!!

Robert I hate to say it, but I'm with e-spice on this one. I prefer the standard darker Fumi's Delight.

You got me with that last plant shot - very unexpected!

 

[paphioboy]

That's a cutie with a very short spike..

 

[SlipperFan]

I like the light color.

 

[SlipperKing]

Interesting. Would you entertain breeding on with this version of Fumi's D?

 

[Jorch]

Nice pastel color!! Lovely :clap:

 

[JeanLux]

very unusual color for an armeniacum hybrid, but interesting!!! Jean

 

[P-chan]

Odd proportions. What a pretty bloom, though!

I agree. This is not one of my crosses, but I thought I would share a picture so you could see the differences between this one and a regular Fumi's Delight. I did think it was amazing that it bloomed on such a small plant. And to answer Slipperking's question, No I probably won't breed with this one (as I don't care for the shape too much). Here is a picture of a regular Fumi's Delight (and I agree a much nicer looking flower):

I agree. Do I have one w/ the eburneum yet? Send it to me, thanx!

 

[NYEric]

It's funny, last I looked I had acquired 3 or 4 Fumi's Delights!

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Eric, acquiring them is one thing, and blooming them is another. Those babies stay in sheath so long it's easy to let water sit in them and kill the sheath.

 

[NYEric]

Yes, this I know! , but on the other hand I have some 5-6 growth plants now!
