Paph Olivia !?

[slippertalker]

It seems that many of us have had plants of Paph Olivia that haven't survived over time. Mine lasted for 15 years or so, had lovely foliage and never bloomed.

Nice one Jean! I agree, it is not a hybrid you see very often (hmmmmm maybe I should remake it...). We have one plant of Paph. Olivia, so here is a picture for comparison:

What I like most about this hybrid, is how long the flowers last. On our plant they lasted 4 to 5 months! Let me know how long yours will last.

the blooms could be cousins Robert, but your's is by far the best shaped one !!!

Here a pic from today: I do not think that the shape will improve!


I will try to keep it alive as long as possible!!!

All this talk of lost Olivias is making me feel guilty! I guess I better take better care of the small piece I have left!
Looking good Jean. It's a keeper!

Well, that's for sure, Rick!

Nice Olivia Jean !!

Who's Oliva Jean?:rollhappy:

Neat cross - the color is so consistent across the whole flower...most unusual.
