Paph philippinense aureum

[jjkOC]

Here is first bloom for Paph philippinense aureum. Really compact grower!

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice! Amazing, it still has a bit of pink to it.

 

[SlipperFan]

Probably not really album, but I prefer this over a plain album.

 

[Spaph]

Very pretty pink touch to the petals... from where did you get this one?

 

[Trithor]

That pink margin to proximal petal edges makes this a very attractive bloom. Exciting plant, congratulations (but not a true alba, perhaps fortunately, I would much rather own this!)

 

[Camellkc]

Wow! Sell it to me, please!

 

[Ozpaph]

He did call it aureum and not album. Its a very attractive flower with the pink edging.

 

[SlipperKing]

"He" is a "she" Stephen...(Jennifer under her PIC) and I agree with you. Look how transparent the petals are. I can see the stem of the second flower coming through the first.

 

[Markhamite]

Love it. Would love to add this to my collection.

Very nice! The leaves look so short. Seems to be very compact, perfect plant for me.

Too true, I think I am going to have to learn to read .....

Cute!

Hello Spaph, this is from Marilyn LeDoux at Windy Hill Gardens.

No worries..

awesome! I also like it more than album.

 

[SlipperFan]

Someone please describe the difference between aureum and album. I understand album, but apparently not aureum.

 

[jjkOC]

Yes, the compact growth habit is what interested me too. It is a multigrowth plant and the maximum leaf span is 10 inches. It only bloomed after it established a number of growths.

Very nice! The leaves look so short. Seems to be very compact, perfect plant for me.

My wild guess is that aureum is maybe the same as albesence? Not pure alba in other words but alba with some pigmentation. Just a guess.
