I'm not normally a fan of complex Paphs, but this is very nice.

That must be a huge plant! Do the colors morph? Yellows to white or the opposite. I especially like the one with the white pouch I have only one complex, it’s just opened it’s bloom. I’m excited to have it even though it’s already huge with only three growths.

The plant is not that big, it is cultivated in a 12cm pot.
Yes, it is green first, then yellow, then off-white and finally pure white.

I have 3 labelled Mrs White - all slightly different.

This one is the best and labelled as Mrs White (from Germany) - i have heard it is now Krull's Glacier.

Does anyone know the history of this cross? is it a mericlone? is mine now labellled correctly?

Any information would be helpful. thanks

Krull's Glacier is definitely the correct registered name of this hybrid. Mrs.White, on the other hand, is probably more of a trade name in Europe.

I bought the same plant a few years ago at the Krull-Smith meeting in Florida. I had NO IDEA it was a meristem since I didn't know paphs could be cloned. I was exhibiting it as "Mrs. White" but not a valid name. Krull's Glacier is the valid name. Not certain of the parentage. Dr. Bill Schumann

Yes, Popow brought those to a few of the Apopka Festivals/ Symposiums
These are from a remake that they were able to clone in Europe, not the original make of the hybrid that was made a few years earlier at Krull-Smith.
