Paph. urbanianum '#2'

[eggshells]

I swear that I have the worst luck when it comes to purpuratum. I bought this plants as purpuratum and now I think no one can dispute that it's an urbanianum. This is the second purpuratum that I bought mislabelled. I still don't have a purpuratum.

Sorry bout your luck, but it could be worse! At least they're nice.

These are both really nice though and great photos too.

nice flowers all the same

 

[papheteer]

A very nice one though!

I like them both...quite colorful and the foliage is lovely. However, curses
be to mislabeled plants.

Nice flowers and nice pic !

 

[NYEric]

Nice anyway.

Great side by side shot! You will get a purpuratum soon my friend!

Better buy purpuratum in bloom. They can turn out ugly.

Both plants look fantastic!

Agree!

this is nicer than purpuratum imho

Perhaps you should buy an urbanianum next time, it might work in reverse?
That first urbanianum is super though, good colour, and petal stance. I would not complain with that quality, as frustrating as it is to get a mislabelled plant, to get a good mislabelled plant is not that bad.

At least it's a mislabeled species! #2 is my pick.

I am indeed grateful that it is a mislabelled species but the anticipation of expecting something and coming out different was a bit disappointing.

All the compliments made cheered me up though so thank you all.
