Paphiopedilum amabile

[Phred]

Paphiopedilum amabile... first plant to bloom from a flask I got over 4 years ago. It’s in a 2” pot... blooming on a tiny little plant. Love the size and color.

Adorable! And the colour is nice and intense. Has it been open for a week? What are the measurement of the flowers vs the plant?

big colourful petals

Totally open now for two days. The flower looks giant because it’s closer to the camera.
Natural spread is a little over 7cm. Petal width is 2cm. The leaves are between 2-3”

A better perspective maybe

 

[DrLeslieEe]

That perspective helps. Thanks!

Thanks... guys. As far as color us concerned it’s a keeper

I’m just curious because I’ve never seen this plant for sale. Anyone know who might offer it?

I bought a flask from Woodstream the end of 2015 and this is the first to bloom. Woodstream flasks are hobby flasks so they are around 8 seedlings or so. I think I’ve got 8 still. I didn’t see any there at there open house but I wasn’t looking for them. He might have some around though. I’ll probably sell a couple seedlings from what I have in the future.

I bought a flask from Woodstream amabile 'Charles' x self about then too. Did you get the same? Only two survived but was totally my fault. I had one in bud last month but it blasted.
Love the color on yours I hope mine is as good... We'll see next year... I hope.

 

[Phred]

Yes... mine is the same cross/pod. I’m hopeful a couple more will bloom this year.
