This dorsal and contrast with the pouch....fabulous!!!!!

Super clone. Such a variable species.

Wonderful phili! Certainly not ordinary - quite the opposite: that colouring can only be described as extrordinay. It's, actually, the phili I've seen, that I liked the most! Clonal name of the parent very apt, as this is a gem, indeed!

Such a nice colored dorsal.

Wow, that contrast of color is outstanding. Overall, it is special. So this is a self of Red Ruby? I would like to know where I can get its siblings for my Phil project.

It is a selfing of the famous laevigatum clone, “red ruby”, and I have the parent plant too. The difference is mainly on petal stance and length: the parent can produce longer, flatter petal.

There are many selfing plants for red ruby selling in Taiwan. However, not every selfing plant can produce such a dark red dorsal similar to the parent, many of them just produce dorsal as an ordinary laevigatum, but the color is still attractive. There is another good crossing “red dragon” x “red ruby”, and it is not difficult to obtain in Taiwan. Many of them can produce very beautiful flowers too, you may have a searching on it if you have sources for buying paphs in Taiwan.

Thanks. I expected it must be from Taiwan. I will be going there anytime soon. Any particular nursery I can find these seedlings. I just need the variety of forms in my collection. They may not be special like yours but it sure will look different from the origin which is what I will try to show.
Thank you.

Stunner for sure.

this is nice enough to chase a little ;-)

Excellent!
Seems like I remember someone on ST saying that pure forms of Roebellini and other varieties are getting hard to get because they have been crossed so much?

Nothing more to say ..... just WOW

Whence did you get it?

That’s true. However, I have heard that “red ruby” is a forest plant so that if it is really a selfing of it, the genie of such clone should be a pure laevigatum.
