Paph Hangianum x Vietnamense

[karategirl73]

Abax I don't know! This is the first time I've seen it bloom, it's a three growth plant and the other two growths could initiate a spike at any time. Only time will tell.

It's a beautiful flower, but I wondered about the color break on the dorsal. Might that indicate virus or maybe
just the vagaries of a first bloom?

Perhaps the dorsal lines are not color break , but influence from the hangianum parent. Some hangianum have red lines running vertical near the dorsal center mixing with the even color of the vietnamense , and this is the result of some clones of the cross .

genetic crash.

I see this often in vietnamense hybrids, especially vietnamense with brachy among other things.

Very interesting result. I think I like it better than HCM. I'm curious to see the dorsal next time - maybe it will clear up?

Lovely!

Very nice! The vietnamense genes are strong.

I will ask Thanh if he has more!

Next time it blooms I will post a picture. It grows great too.

I have one also. It doesn't have fragrance. The "color break" is thanks to strong vietnamense influence. Mine has darker pink color, and longer dorsal sepal. It is slow grower, flowering at every 2-3 years. Bought it from Taiwan.

Very interesting and I'd love to see the progression of this
plant over the years.

I would love one too. No plans on going to FL soon. Does Thanh come up to DC?

He sends a email list every month.

And his shipping is reasonable.
