Paph. papuanum

[eggshells]

Wow - that's a rare species and you show us at least 3 different colour forms - that's gorgeous.


That's just a pale coloured form, close to an album -but no album. There is a hint of red at the ends of the petals -at least on the photo.

Im referring to the second photo. It could be my eyes/screen but i see no red pigment on it.

And then, another color form

Um..where do you live? :evil:

Thanks for sharing that album beauty. I know a bunch of people who would be interested in getting one.

The last one would deserve to be bred, I think: a few true album may appear... or not !!

Thanks a lot for the pics! Apparently there's quite some variation in this species. I think the pale colour morph has recently been given a formal name, if I recall correctly it is forma or variety alexejanum.

Labskaus, Thanks a lot for the info.

Maybe my perception was wrong and it's a true albino.
I presume the whiff of colour is caused by the light only in the photo.

Very unique flowers for such a rare Paph!
