Paphiopedilum Phillip's Song

[Theodoreorchidking]

This is it's second flowering. This is my favorite paph I have due to the purple and large flower size

 

[Ozpaph]

A very attractive flower with dark dorsal and great petal colour

 

[Murray F]

Nice orchid and flowered well

Kido, you did it! You made me log in while I was in Panama! color and form--very very nice! I even love the wavy edge of the dorsal...Tell me more about the plant size, parents, and source.

Great color on the petals and dorsal, it contrasts really nicely with the pouch. Good flower count and presentation as well, congrats!

That is just wonderful. The dorsal is a knockout. Very dark. Also love the long spirally petals. I have never heard of the cross, so I had to look it up - Hsinying Anita × philippinense.

Seems like dark dorsals might be common in this cross. Here is another nice clone.

Very, very nice one. The dark colouration and also the wavy edges of the dorsal, as Tom-DE mentioned, are the highlights.

I got it from fantasy orchids in Denver: not sure the origin from there as they are not big on multi florals. The plants fan gets about 2 feet across and has rounded leaves that are quite thick.

That's a Lehua tag.

Not completely. I bought 3. Sold/gave one away. 2nd about to open. 3rd not there yet…. Very much hoping one is a keeper. (these are the same flower slightly different angle, but you can see the dorsal. ) but then this morning Maybe I did get a good one….(see further down)

She’s a beauty! I’m green with envy!

 

[Tom-DE]

Thank you for all the info, Theodore.

What potting mix do you use and how do you care for it? As much as I like the flowers, that root system makes me envious! Multiflorals are so hit or miss for me that I feel like I'm over looking something important.
