Paphiopedilum bullenianum bud

[DrLeslieEe]

I'm so excited to see this open!

Took 2 years to establish after a harrowing trip back from Japan. From a select plant of Hanajima Orchids with scarlet red petals.

Anytime soon...

Looking forward to see it!
How much light does it need? I got a seedling one and a half years ago. Since I moved it to a darker spot I think it is developping an elongated growth...

 

[DrLeslieEe]

It's been getting 1200-1500 fc, next to callosum and lawrenceanum hyeanum.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Slowly.. she's unfolding.

Leslie, that's another lovely bloom within your green jungel.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

A little more love!



Another couple days more to full maturation.

 

[Guldal]

Gorgeous, Leslie! Such striking colours - esp. in the first photo of the last three, with that almost purple hue!

Nice one! Whats the difference to appletonianum?

.......Whats the difference to appletonianum?

Among other differences, their origins are completely differnt. Have a look here Paph appletonianum and Paph. bulleanum

I can t see differences.Geographical difference is not a reason to mention them as separate sp.Eg. cyp. calceolus can be found in many places in the nature all around the world.

 

[dodidoki]

Very nice, anyway.

Istvan, I wrote 'among other fifferences' and not 'the only difference is' !! Read the describtions in the links carefully and you will find at least 3 differences which are necessary to create a new species.

I will take one when sunny inside. It's minus 12C outside lol.

The lineage are plants from Borneo. The Japanese do not make mistakes... usually lol... esp if they consider it valuable.

But I will do my research as I'm curious about the differentiation of the appletonianum complex.

Here's an appletonianum from a friend to compare:



Differences in staminodes, roundness of pouch bottom and petal/dorsal angles, from my observations.

I will look further into literature.
