Paph tranlienianum

[emydura]

Two first flowering seedlings. These come from my initial flasks I bought 6 years ago and are the first seedlings to flower for this species. There was a third seedling that had a really dark bud but unfortunately it aborted just as it was opening.

Paph tranlienianum ‘Su#2’ x sibling ‘Su#1’

Nice, 6 years. If that is indeed the case 5 more years for me lol.

Real nice! I am also concerned that mine are now going to take another 4 years!
That first bloom has great colour, if a darker bloom aborted, that would have been incredible. Looks like it was a good flask. I am going to have to check up on my flasks' parents. (The secret is going to be able to keep them alive for another 4 years!)

My seedlings went nowhere for 3 or 4 years. Then I got the fertiliser right and they all took off. A few of those first flasks have flowered this year for the first time. I'm sure if I started those flasks now they would flower in about half the time these have taken.

Yes, I was so disappointed when it blasted. I opened up the bud after if aborted and it had nice dark segments. The plant has a strong new growth, so it will flower again next year.

I think I have quite a few more of these to flower. The only thing is I got the tranlienianum and henryanum's mixed up and I can't tell the plants apart. I have to flower them to work out what they are.

These are really good examples of this species David.

The Vietnamese species from limestone cliffs really seem allergic to K. I tortured my first compot of this species down to 1 plant that finally bloomed. I got a seedpod out for flasking to try again, and heard that there is decent germination.

I've picked up a few from Ten Shin, and they seem to be growing fine.

Too bad it takes so many years and plants to figure things out

A third seedling from this cross. Not as dark as the others.

Still, nice color.

David, sorry but I just can see one photo in your first posting.
To be honest thats a fine tranlinianum, dark chocolate colouration and a lovely shape - congrats.
