Paph. hirsutissimum 'Alfri' AM/AOS x self

[Drorchid]

I selfed this "almost" albino form of Paph. hirsutissimum ('Alfri' has some red pigments in the hairs close to the center). This is the first seedling that bloomed from the batch:

Short stem but a great bloom! I personally like these greenish/pale blooms - lovely!! :drool::drool:
What about its vigor Robert, are the vigorous or more slow growers??

 

[smartie2000]

These seedlings got planted in August 2007, so that is a little over 2.5 years from flask to blooming plant, so I would say they are pretty vigorous.

Nice result. I have 'Alfri' in bloom right now, and was just thinking how nice it would be if that pink weren't there.

 

[NYEric]

Close.

Fantastic growth! It is close enough to an albino in my eyes.

I like the touches of color, but then, I'm not an albinistic purist.
