Paph Gloria Naugle

Paph Gloria Naugle ‘In Charm Red’ mericlone from PaphParadise.

First bloom and I’ve been busy with work and didn’t photograph it until the pouch was beginning to wilt, but i was surprised by the vibrancy of the color.

Beautiful flower. It is vibrant. Strong new growth, too.

Congrats! Not an easy Paph. to bloom...
How old is the flower? I didn't know they could mericlone this...very unusual.

I’m ashamed to say that I don’t recall exactly how old. Less than a month. Not as long lasting as our wolterianum.

I expect the flower of this hybrid will last 4 weeks or so. Are you sure it is "mericlone"? If so, it will be my first time to see a flower photo of a mericloned Paph. Maybe a division? just curious.
