Paph. Sugar Suite

[John M]

A first bloom seedling. Paph. niveum x emersonii.

Very strong emersonii influence!

Wow. I love it. It looks like a more gracile emersonii.

Also, this is one of the first REAL Sugar Suites I have seen.

That's right. There's no hangianum in this one! This is also the first REAL Sugar Suite that I've seen. I was really pleased when it opened to see that it was labelled correctly.

I agree!

I think it has nice influence from both, with further bloomings it should get more substance I think.

It looks great to me.

Not bad at all for a first flowering. Improvement almost guaranteed.

 

[JeanLux]

very nice large white one!!! Jean

Thanks everyone. It's just a single growth and not any larger than a big niveum. Paph. emersonii can have a leafspan more than double what this plant has. So, I expect that the form and substance will improve on future bloomings. It's got a second bud; but, I think I'll cut the stem after this flower fades, to preserve it's strength and get it growing some more leaves a bit sooner.

Beautiful.

Like an alba emersonii! Yahhhh niveum hybrids...haven't seen a one I didn't love!

 

[swamprad]

Wonderful!!

 

[NYEric]

Is this much easier to bloom than emersonii?

Yahhhh niveum hybrids...haven't seen a one I didn't love!

My copyright infringement lawyers are examining this closely!:evil:

 

[Bobc]

Very nice.

 

[lipelgas]

I must have it! It's just stunning!

 

[etex]

I love it . It sure is a beautiful flower. Looks great!

 

[SlipperFan]

Amazing, John. So the niveum influence is size and the emersonii is shape?

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Gorgeous! Emersonii isn't that hard to bloom.....its just hard to grow and keep alive!

Amazing, John. So the niveum influence is size and the emersonii is shape?

...And pouch colour. I think it's a really nice cross. I'd love to find a flask of this sometime (made with really good parents) and grow them all out to bloom.
