Paphiopedilum vietnamense

[cxcanh]

My friend grow this pot for 3 years and this year it started to bloom first time.

 

[cnycharles]

wow. I guess it likes where it is

 

[labskaus]

Really well grown, and the flowers have excellent shape. I also like the stems which hold the flowers nicely above the foliage. Longer than I've seen before in vietnamense.

A marvelous display on what has to be the largest vietnamese that I have ever seen. Wow, perhaps we need to nominate it as another natural wonder!

 

[Erythrone]

OMG!!!!!!!

Please ask your friend how he grows it....

 

[NYEric]

Very nice, thanks for sharing the photo.

Gorgeous! Is this one plant or multiple plants clumped together? Seems to be rather large for a first-bloom plant if it's only one plant. Astounding all the same.

 

[papheteer]

Wow that's amazing! And flower quality is nice too!! What is it growing on?

 

[Dido]

what the hell is that, need drops for my hard now.

I really would like to have a part of this one

If it's really a vietnamense (it could be too Ho Chi Minh, we don't see good the flower but leaves are vietnamense), it's a very very good shape for this specie!

 

[Ozpaph]

what an awesome plant

This is native one not a hybrid and it was grow by a "farmer", he just use soild and some Asplenium nidus root mix together.

I want to friends with your Canh! My friend:wink:

 

[SlipperKing]

It looks like he has it in a slotted tub. Is that right?

 

[Stone]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forget all your fertilizer. Its all about environment environment environment!!!!:clap: If I had a humid warm summer, I would grow all this stuff outside! East coast Americans should consider it I think.

 

[SlipperFan]

I had the same though. It looks like if many seedings were grown together.

canh says it is in one pot, but not necessarily a single clump. Some of the growths look spaced far apart from the centre clump, so unless vietnamense is stoloniferous, I don't think it is likely to be one clump.

Is this outdoor growing in Vietnam CX?
