Paph. Liberty Taiwan (hangianum x micranthum)

Everything with micranthum rules! =)

Very nice! How big is the flower?

 

[TDT]

Love the delicate color!

 

[Ozpaph]

the pouch and colour are very nice

 

[SlipperFan]

Love the delicate color!

I agree!

Interesting. The flower doesn't look the like what I'd expect. In fact, if we had been playing the guess the parentage game, my money would have been on micranthum x emersonii (though the fact that the pouch color isn't contrasting would have me confused).

I agree, micranthum makes some beautiful hybrids. The veining of the petals is hard to beat. I like the short stem. It seems like a lot of my favorite parvi hybrids are plagued by very tall stems, which makes them a bit of a challenge to grow and bloom under lights.

Not bad. Also illegal here! Thanks for sharing.

Probably half the imported Sugar Suites (emersonii x micranthum) really have hang as a parent.....

Lovely flower !!!! Jean

11,5 cm

Nice, It clearly has the hangianum hung pouch and staminodal barring. No confusion here, dead give away.

 

[Dido]

a nice one and very light for this cross.

Eric, I think you may be mistaken. Isn't Sugar Suite (Paph. emersonii x Paph niveum). That would mean that even if they switched out emersonii to hangianum it wouldn't be Liberty Taiwan.

And can you imagine the confusion going forward?

 

[NYEric]

No, Eric M. is correct. That's why when someone here posts a real Paph Sugar Suite people notice it.

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

NYEric, How can Eric M be correct if there is no micranthum in sugar suite? That means it can't be Liberty Taiwan no matter how you slice it. It will be emersonii x niveum or hangianum x niveum, neither of which is Liberty Taiwan which is made up of micranthum x hangianum.

Intersting that the stem is so short too. Granted hangianum has a short stem but I didn't think it'd have such an effect

I am by no means an expert, but when I first saw this and after a second look it appears to be (emersonii x micranthum) I think that these two parents can put out a plant that has a lip similar to hangianum with the way it protrudes forward.

I have also seen the same barring of the staminode in other crosses that may not have had any hangianum.

Anyone else agree?

Regardless- I like it.

I'm sure Eric M. was not saying Sugar Suite is the same as Liberty Taiwan. Rather that many Paph Sugar Suite's (emersonii x niveum); (and if you simply search "Paph Sugar Suite" you will see photos of blooms that), are obviously hangianum hybrids.
