Paphiopedilum Norito Hasegawa

[Djthomp28]

The season is upon us. The first clone to bloom is up. Paphiopedilum Norito Hasegawa is malipoense x armeniacum. I love the clear, crisp yellow green of this clone.

You seem to always have the nicest clone! Is your philosophy: buy a bunch/compot and keep the best clone?

 

[Tom-DE]

Who is the breeder? I hope you have more of this...

The flowers on these can be very long lasting, too! Months and months and months sometimes if conditions are right. I just wish the malipoense fragrance would shine through more often, seems like almost all of these are non-fragrant or only very faintly fragrant at best.

The colour combination is stunning!

Love that yellow lip! The ones I've seen always are much more green.

Same here. It is a special clone indeed.

Nice one for sure. Nice color and shape. Great growing.

@Tom-DE
When I can, I look for compots and flasks using the logic you outlined. It works sometimes. Sometimes the size of the plants out pace my growing space, and I have to share before seeing them bloom. At least if I sell them here there is a decent chance I can see them bloom out.

I am not sure who is behind this set of Norito Hasegawa. I bought them as a compot years ago. Some folks on the forum have sibs. NH grow well for me at this moment in time. So, divisions are always possible.

@mrhappyrotter I have one clone I am willing to call fragrant. The others, this one included, have a slight scent when the sun shines at the right angle and your nose is in the flower.

 

[Djthomp28]

Another clone is blooming. This one is larger and is more of a golden tone.

Wow! I can't make up my mind here which clone is better....maybe the second clone? Both are fantastic NH!
