paphiopedilum delenatii vinicolor

[SlipperFan]

So, vini is latin. Is "color"? How about vinidunkel? oke:

 

[Erythrone]

Yes, Dot, color is the latin word for... color!

Paph concolor

Cattleya bicolor

Vanda tricolor

 

[Ozpaph]

so why not dunkelii if you want it latinised???

Good point. They latinize people's names.

 

[ORG]

For me is more the question

Why Dunkel!!!

I have writte the description of this colorform. I had spoken at first with the owner of the type-plant in Germany. He had written on the label of the plant
Paph. delenatii 'dunkel' or in english 'dark', because the leaves had black margins. He could give also the name 'schwarz' (black), but ge agreed with me that the better word for this colorform is vinicolor.

So I wrote the description.

Sometimes the owner of the plants prefer to use names which are difficult to pronounce like
Paph. javanicum forma nymphenburgianum.

But when they want to use this name then it is ok, also when some persons in the world don't like it.

Or shall we ask at first all people, if the name is suitable for all?

Best greetings

vini = wine

In Germany are 2 kinds of wine:

- Red wine

- White wine

vinicolor = color of wine , but here must understand Red wine. I suspect that he would rather drink red wine.

 

[NYEric]

vini = wine

"Vini" as also Latin for I came; as in "Vidi, vichi, vini!"

I couldn't resist! :evil:

 

[slippertalker]

With the new changes departing from the need to write taxonomic descriptions in latin, does that also apply to the nomenclature?

 

[Erythrone]

Bill, the scientific names will be in Latin. Only the description will be in English.

We should NOT do that, Nymphenburg or Neuschwanstein and Oberschleissheim are much more common all over the world than some other places, and we are proud of that. The greenhouses of the castle of Nymphenburg had the first warm- water- heating system in Germany, the great fountain in front of the main building gets, since more than 250 years, the water- pressure by pumps, invented and created from Effner, they are still working... I will go there in the next days and make some pics.
Best regards from Munich, next Nymphenburg!

And Dunkel is a German surname... I guess we just like it for sentimental reasons Plus it's a type of German beer...

 

[W. Beetus]

Very nice looking bloom!

vinicolor is good. thanks for doing the official description on it olaf. but i have a question, the "sibling cross" your talking off, is that for real, because I heard there was only one plant originally collected with that coloration. hence making everything else "selected selfings".. or were there a lot of plants collected?

No,a small colony supposedly was found,and so there are different individuals wild collected around the world...
