Paphiopedilum tonsum fm alboviride ‘LimeLight’ HCC/AOS

[BrucherT]

Thanks all.

Don, I find some albums do grow better than normal types, but not all. So it’s case to case.

Took more pics. Can’t help it lol. Flower form is so regal.

Don’t help it! Keep them coming! You could do a book of just albums...albae? Albas? ‍

A book of album forms of Paphs? Hmmmm might be an idea!

 

[Guldal]

Its so good an Idea, that Olaf Gruß (ORG in these pages) already used it!

A most delectable book, but some of his photos might benefit from a contemporary update!

Albine Paphs, a good book, just makes me jealous. BTW, does anyone know if any of the vietnamense albums are still alive?

...Bueller...?...Bueller...?

The several places I have asked for the vietnamense alba have either lost their plant in cultivation or sold out. I have no source of it anywhere atm.

There was a alba paph checklist on OD by Gruss and an album book by Braeme. If I do one, it may just be a pretty coffee table book LOLzz.

Who could complain?

The book on albino forms is by Olaf - QED:

I would love to get this book but it is out of print. Wanna sell yours?

 

[Guldal]

Am I the only one here, thinking: "divisions, divisions, divisions...."?!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

I found the book at Ingram’s Orchid book store! Ya!!!

 

[Guldal]

Congrats!

 

[NYEric]

But, do you have it signed!?!
There was supposed to be an album vietnamense in Australia or New Zealand, anybody there know?

 

[Ozpaph]

not that I've heard or seen.

 

[Stone]

Oops wrong thread

 

[NYEric]

Thanks OZPAPH, I will put my ear to the ground.

 

[Greenpaph]

Spectacular greepaph!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

I might have to get Olaf to sign it at the WOC Taiwan LOL.
If anyone has the vietnamense alba, it will be in Taiwan.
Thanks Greenpaph. I hope to trade a division of this plant for another AM plant division that belongs to a fellow judge here called 'CADmium Green', awarded a year before mine. We might cross them to get more babies as they are both in bloom.

 

[GuRu]

Another green white beauty and yes it's been worth to be awarded.To be honest my jaw dropped down. Congrats.
Can't remember of having seen P. tonsum f. alboviride here in the past.

Thanks Guru for your kind comments. This is indeed quite a nice flower. One of my faves actually.
