Paphiopedilum Saiun ‘Glow Stick’

[LO69]

I recently bought the sayun but mine it's just a tiny seedling, any way I'm Happy because it's a very nice green paph. Congrats Leslie for yours!

It’s pretty vigorous compare to the parents so it will bloom within 2 years for you if all goes well!

Just opening... you can see the petals still stretching. Will it be as big or bigger than last year? The plant has doubled in size.

I think we need updated perspectives of that background.

Beautiful color Greenpaph!

It's a wonderfully coloured and vigorous clone, you've got there, Leslie!

Happy Holidays to you, too, and the Best Wishes for an equally Happy and Floriferous New Year!
Most kind regards, Jens

So one year later, Glowstick has decided to bloom with another bud in tow! Yayyyy…

I don’t want to like it but…it’s gorgeous. Incredible foliage. Incandescent inflorescence.

I got one of these awarded a few years ago with an HCC, and named it SkyBear. I'm sure I have a photo or two around!

Here's a photo from the award event. This one tends to bloom more than once a year.

Nice. Are those your Angraecum distichum?

Gorgeous clone, well deserved award!

I can't help wondering, though, why the slight mishap at the award event, when it comes to the correct naming of as well the colour form of your plant as its parents: P. Saiun album (or alboviride, if you prefer) = P. sukhakulii fma. aureum x P. wardii fma. alboviride?!

The cross with the parents of the typical colourforms has a quite distinctly different look and flavour. The photos are from the internet to show the wide range of outcomes in this cross:

Nice. Are those your Angraecum distichum?

Yes indeed it is Angraecum distichum ‘Second Chance’!
