Paph niveum

[Paul]

A first bloom and there are 3 other mature growths so other blooms to come. really a thriving plant into a warm and bright place.

Cool!!! Nice shape!!!

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice Paul. It looks like it's a large flower.

 

[toddybear]

At least your dorsal is not pinched like mine!

:clap: Awwwe! :clap:
You guys are makin' it hard on me - I've got 3 in bud!

 

[NYEric]

Nice, and well framed by many other little seedlings!

 

[JeanLux]

very, very nice one Paul!!! Jean

 

[P-chan]

So beautiful! Nice shape, too!

 

[SlipperFan]

Pretty. I does look like a good-sized flower.

 

[paphioboy]

Excellent flower... But I don't think that's a pure niveum. the petals show hints of bellatulum (shape-wise) and the dorsal too..

 

[Paul]

second bloom is better, bigger, wider flower:

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice Paul but I have to agree with Paphioboy this year. It doesn't look pure niveum. The petals hanging down do look like bellatulum influence. Is it tiny like a thainum?

 

[Pete]

thats what i was thinking too. the leaves look like theyve got a dose of bellatulum in them too...

 

[Paul]

well, I don't know if niveum or niveum x ???
It doesn't look like other niveums I have seen...

It's not tiny as thaianum but as a normal niveum

 

[JeanLux]

but really nice shape!!! Jean

 

[NYEric]

thanx for posting, good luck w/ the identification.

 

[toddybear]

Beautiful niveum!

 

[John M]

Both flowers are wonderful; but, I agree too....it seems to have some bellatulum in there. It's possibly a Psyche x niveum? It's common to see mislabelled niveums, which is very frustrating.

 

[CodPaph]

very very nice

 

[SlipperFan]

It's a beauty. Too bad there is a question about it.
