Paph Temptation ‘Gym Socks’ AM/AOS

[MorandiWine]

Doing its thang! Two good spikes. Beast of a plant that likes to be in a hanging basket up high in my GH.

Doing some breeding with it this season, hopefully I can report back with some successes.

Put phil compactum alba on it and did the reciprocal. Remaking Tempted Philip.

Impressively well grown!

Great idea! Would be great to have compact versions of these nice crosses. Let us know when you have seedlings!

Amazing plant and flowers. The name ‘Gym Socks’ is interesting…….for lack of a better word……
