Paphiopedilum (leucochilum x anitum)

[Happypaphy7]

This is a welcome bloom while I wait for my Rolfei to come to bloom.
Three buds, not bad for a first time bloomer.

I got one from Cloud's as a bonus plant. I like the neat and tidy leaves, but this flower is so much better than the one in the web catologue.

I agree.
I prefer the pouch color this way than the cream white as shown in the catalogue.

I wanted to get a seedling from Cloud's, but wasn't sure about it.
I got this one in the US as a near blooming size plant. It has been a great grower. It has added two new growths and in bloom now which I was not expecting this soon as I have a few brachy x multi hybrids that are more than blooming size, but not a single one of them is showing any signs of spiking.

For now, this is a great alternative for Rolfei for me.
The plant is compact, the leaves are much prettier, and above all, it is in bloom!

Very nice. Much easier to bloom than Rolfei obviously! Thanks for sharing.

Well, being a fairly new hybrid, I'm not sure if such generalization can be said about this hybrid.

Is anitum easier to bloom than roth in general? Just curious.

I may have just been lucky with this one, but then again, who knows when this plant will want to flower again next?
I hope it will bloom on a regular basis & shorter intervals than others.
Time will tell. haha

Speaking of Rolfei, I bought two blooming size plants years ago.
I gave on up and donated to the society auction two years ago.
I still have the other one and it is getting quite big although still a single growth.

I also bought two seedlings years ago.
Both have grown very well and are multiple growth plant.
One is though, small in leaf span, and that one I hope will bloom first.
Smaller plants with good flowers always are my choice.

Beautiful example of Paph. Hung Sheng Tango! We are seeing some very nice flowers as more and more of these are beginning to bloom.

I like the dark pouch!! I also prefer godefroyae over leucochilum because I like pouch color, & spotting. Mine is going into bloom soon made with godefroyae, hope it looks like yours

Fantastic outcome. I'm curious about the dorsal. Is it cupped at all or does it roll back on thy he edges?

Let me get the ones you don't want.

I'm thinking of donating. Or keep one more year. lol

First few days, the dorsal was flat, but then the edges near the base started to roll back.

Gorgeous dark flower!

 

[SlipperFan]

Much nicer than I expected.
