Paph Season 2023

[annica.jarvela]

Now that I have this plant from James in my hands I have no doubt, it's a twin to my first "Hilo Black Eagle". Mystery solved.

To me the first three flowers/pics you showed, they look to me like a stonei flowers and an adductum/stonei pouch. But I am no expert and don't know anything. Just saying how it looks to me.

The season is slowing down but it's not over yet. First up is a Hsinying Anita, sibling to my FCC from earlier this year, that took too much anitum influence in its form.



Possibly the worst Julius I've ever seen.



Saving the best (maybe) for last, a first bloom Wössner Black Wings with what feels like 5 buds. I hope it's not ugly

we all hope for beauty

Hi Tony,
Hsinying Anita has wonderfully black buds.
Julius didn't come to mind, before you said it. WBW has nice dark red buds. Nice to wait and see what comes.

Does one detect a wee bit of kvetching here?
At least you can't complain about the colouring it got from anitum!

I most certainly can, the color all stayed up top and none ran down to the pouch.The pictures are kinder to it than real life

Will the WBW actually BE WBW?

It's from James so it should be. So far all my WBW have been true, it's only the Hilo Bald Black Eagles that have been an issue from Sam.

Maybe it will be an adductum.

Nahh. It'll be something stupid like William Trelease x supardii.

Sorry for the stupid question, but why can I find info only on Hilo Black Eagle or Hilo Bald Eagle, but not Hilo Bald Black Eagle?

Because I was being facetious, I have a batch of plants labeled Hilo Black Eagle that have been blooming out as Hilo Bald Eagles.

That Hsinying Anita is dark and pretty, though.
The last one, I'm also curious to see.
Good flowers of WBW and five of them will be quite something to look at!!

The pic made it look darker, the pouch was really washed out. It's gone now, along with that awful Julius lol

Oh, okay, now I understand. Thanks for explaining it to me, and for your patience with me.

What have you done with them, gone where?

A friend in my orchid society took them.

Ok, good. I was already afraid that you have thrown them in to a garbage bin.

That's good to know I didn't think you you are, really.
