Paph. malipoense

[Amadeus]

Paph malipoense 'DD's Nova x 'Andy's'
First time blooming, grown indoors (warm and dry), fragrant.

 

[SlipperKing]

That is quite a flower! What's the nat. spread?

 

[SlipperFan]

Very pretty!

 

[jjkOC]

Nice! Does it have a fragrance?

 

[Rick]

That came out pretty darn nice?

Did one of the parents come from Andy's orchids?

 

[gnathaniel]

Looks nice! Now I wish I'd gotten one of these with my recent SVO order...

 

[Amadeus]

The NS is 10cm, the forced spread is 12cm

Stem is 47.5cm long 53cm if you include the ovary. (Don't ask for a photo, I'm embarrassed by how wobbly the stem is, and by how poorly I staked it)

It is fairly fragrant, I suppose it smells like some type of berry that doesn't exist.

I'm not sure if one of the parents is from Andy's Orchids, but I wouldn't be surprised if one did because I got this plant from a California Vendor.
