Paph. hangianum

[John M]

I've had this since it was just a little seedling. Plant has 26.5 cm natural spread. Flower is huge (14.5 cm), thick and fuzzy with a hard, fleshy, satiny smooth pouch. Nice, scent....a combination of sweet, candy confections and savoury spices.

congratulations! Any growing tips?

 

[John M]

Thanks. Growing tips......patience!!!!! Otherwise, no. It just gets what all my other Paphs near it get. Intermediate temps, water when nearly dry. No deliberate dry rest. Feed weakly; but, regularly February through October.

The pouch looks edible. No seriously, it looks really tasty. I think I need to check my brain...

Thanks everyone!

Actually, I have seen Marzipan fruit that are about the same size, shape, colour and texture as the pouch. I LOVE Marzipan!:drool:

Very beautiful. I was very disappointed with one of my clones. It's a big plant and has about 4 growths but then it decided to blast last summer. Kinda seen it coming because of the long time on sheath phase. Felt like I wasted a growth. Anyways looking forward to the next one.
