Paphiopedilum parishii

[Djthomp28]

First time bloomer for this plant. And the first time I have bloomed a multiforal paph species. So excited. Too bad I had to more the plant before the blooms finished opening. Things got twisted...

So beautiful!

It's still very beautifull! Congrats on your 'debut'!

 

[Ozpaph]

good job

Congrats! Not an easy species to grow, much less bloom. Well done!

Flowers a bit wonky presentation (again, don't move while opening) with wavy dorsal sepals (maybe due to dryness, seen with the leaves a bit dehydrated), but the twisting petals are amazing.

I would have been exited too if I bloomed a multifloral Paph for the very first time and it would be such a beauty. Good job and congrats!

Werner, do you have close up pics of these flowers?

 

[richgarrison]

Werner, do you have close up pics of these flowers?

sorry, dont have. I was too lazy , it bloomed several times. Now its repotted and split in parts getting a lot of light . Next time I will take better pictures.

Beautiful parishii!

Werner,
Yours is not parishii but a hybrid. Probably Robinianum.

Like SK, I also suspected it might be Robinianum, but I had confirmation that there is a race of parishiis that have wide petals like these. So I want one lol.

I will let you know if I find it!!

I also think that is is a Robinianum. All the reddish hues on the flowers are from Paph lowii, I think.

dorsal appears very clear of markings.......
