Paph. lowii fm aureum ‘Mango’

[DrLeslieEe]

Another sad news to report. Neither of Mango’s pods took. I will attempt again in next blooming.

A sister plant from the same batch opened recently here. Flowers are lighter buttery and petals droop lower. It’s first bloom so we can give it a chance to show potential next blooming cycle. I will name her Mary Gold.

Nice. What media do you grow these in?

Are they really that intensely dark yellow while fresh? I mean Mango yellow??
The ones I've seen were pale lemon yellow.

I grow them in large orchiata bark/perlite/charcoal mix in 3:1:1 ratio.

Mango was very mango flesh color. This one is much lighter like butter.

Another addition to the family from Marcotte. It was delivered today. A light golden yellow with more inner twist to the petals. Still lovely in my eyes. I will call ‘Durian’ lol after my favourite fruit.



Last pic with ‘MariGold’. I might rename to ‘Jackfruit’ since it’s a fruit series lol.

One flower dropped so couldn’t be judged today.

Thanks David! This color form is so endearing to me.

The last one has no spots on the petals. Mary Gold has spots. Interesting the subtle differences.

Seeing this resurrected thread, I am absolutely drooling over Mango! I love yellow and lowii is on my "list."
