Paph. superbiens

[SlipperFan]

Best it has bloomed for me. Parents are ‘Lionhardt’ x ‘Maroon Marvel’.

Very nice Dot!

 

[Justin]

[17andgrowing]

Nice.

 

[Rick]

Very nice!!

Are the petals short or really recurved / reflexed?

Can you do a profile shot?

Stunning Dot. One of my favourite species. Great photos as well.

 

[John M]

Wow, Dot. That's the nicest of this species that I think I've ever seen! Lovely!

Oh, if only my new one hadn't blasted! I hope it looks
like this one when it finally does bloom again. I love the
leaves and will be content with that for quite a while.

Taking a closer look at the leaves, mine appear to be
quite different...much darker and more speckled. It
doesn't have any clonal name on the tag. Perhaps it's
not superbiens at all. Hope spring eternal though.

Nice show Dot.

 

[Ozpaph]

wow flower and wow leaves.

 

[Paul]

Magnificient flower!!! :clap:

 

[NYEric]

Nice and correctly named. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Ruth]

Very nice!

I would keep this for the leaves. I just love them when the background is this light and the pattern is so clearly & orderly marked!!!
I have two hybrids with this same leaves, one has dark flowers and the other white/green.

One of the nicer ones I have seen.

Very nice!!

I'll try to do that tomorrow.

Lovely flower Dot. Why is this superbiens and not curtisii? NYEric?

 

[Justin]

i ageee. i grow this same cross and i think it is either curtisii or a mix of he two. from the little info that is out there it seems that superbiens is not in the trade. this is a very nice cross nonetheless.
