Paphiopedilum leucochilum: Little Brother

[DrLeslieEe]

Well, the little brother is finally opening and his pouch is much much whiter (will keep the purists happier). A few acne spots but not like the ample rouge on the ‘Blackest Knight’ (who might have gotten it in some ill-reputed tavern after a couple drinks lol).

NS 7.5 cm and stretching …. I hope .




I will christianed him part of the Paph crusade as the ‘Whitest Knight’, kin and brothers-in-arms to ‘Blackest Knight’!

I love Oreos too lol.

Hmmm name change? Perhaps too commercial lol.

That is a couple of valuable and lovely plants you have there!

Hi Leslie. Very interesting to see the two side by side.

They are both lovely! Is it just me, or is the little brother wider?

They’re both about the same size. Just a matter of perspective .

I can’t help doing some studio shots before his debut at the Ottawa Orchid show this weekend.




I decided to name him ‘Oreo’ lol.

Congrats DrLeslie! It looks great, well deserved. But I have to say, that I like the big brother more. I hope you don't mind me saying that.
BTW, why you people call your plants he?
