Paphiopedilum micranthum var. albescens

[Paul]

One of the nicest Paph I have in my collection. A real jewel, this bloom is much better than previous one, pouch twice bigger and perfect shape

 

[Gcroz]

Beautiful. Your photo is lovely too- makes the flower look naturalized into the lawn!

I find the white forms of micrantum so much prettier then the regular form. I might actually start considering adding this to my collection.

Marc,
I'd be very careful there. The albinistic micrathums are mostly very slow growing, if they grow at all. The problem will not be finding an expensive plant, but to find a piece that you can successfully grow over time. I've seen quite a few skillful grows over the years giving up on white micranthum.
My advive as a starting point would be: buy 10 normal micrathums as a trail and see if you can manage these. If they do fine, AND FLOWER well for you, I'd consider the albino.

that plant looks to be growing very well.

That is a real beauty. I'd be proud to own that one, as you should be.

Hello,
It's not a pure album, but almost. By the way, this is the easiest and fastest growing micranthum I have. growths mature in a year, and every single one makes a sheath. But I don't know why I only get one flower with 2 sheaths

My goodness....I could not open my mouth

 

[raymond]

wow very nice

 

[eggshells]

This my freakin favourite. It appears that you have no problem growing this species. Maybe when selfed, it may yield a faster growing pure albino micranthum.
