phantastic!!! I've always loved platiphyllum, though, they seem to be very rare, and hard to find in Europe, especially with some size to them.

Really nice!

Not common anywhere

If you get one be nice to it and grow it huge!

Didn't Sam sell flasks a while back?

Great blooming, this species has such wide leaves!

Congrats!! Fantastic blooming!:drool:
I take a little one some time ago, any tips or advice?

 

[couscous74]

Awesome!

Very nice. Excellent clone.

Is this accepted as seperate species, I have always been confused by its association with stonei.
I love it, the un-lined dorsal is remarkable.

Beautiful plant. If there was an albino one I would lose my mind! I believe it is a separate species but i'm not sure. They are super rare as far as i know. At least they should be legal.

I have 2 plants. Got them from Tom K awhile back. Really cool how it has the black bumps on the petals like a kolo!

 

[Paul]

Thank you for your comments!!

This is quite a big plant, but a little smaller than kolopakingii (this is THE biggest of my plants, and soon blooming)
Now, I think it should bloom every year. I don't know how many flowers per spike it can do at max, I'm curious.

 

[SlipperFan]

I definitely need one of these.

This use to be called Paph stonei var. Latifolium

 

[Ozpaph]

the plant looks very healthy

 

[mrhappyrotter]

Neat flowers and the foliage really has some bulk to it.

I love this species and stonei too. Hausermann in the US has large seedlings of platyphyllum for sale now. I wish I have more room to grow several of these.

NYEric ,a semi-alba is enough?

I still dont agree compleately about platiphyllum been a species,in my opinion can be a natural line breed kolopakingii(topperii type carrying alba genes) x stoneii...
