Lovely Jean. It has a nice full shape. It is a lot different to my wenshanense.

 

[SlipperKing]

That is very, very nice Jean.

 

[Erythrone]

Gorgeous!

 

[paphioboy]

Very nice, Jean.. But it looks more like angthong/X Angthong (niveum x godefroyae) to me.. or maybe even Psyche (niveum x bellatulum)..

 

[quietaustralian]

Lovely, I flowered some Paph Quick Sand (niveum x wenshanense) that looked almost identical to this.

It really doesn't look like a wenshanense but is soo beautyfull!

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

What a beauty! Fine example.

 

[abax]

Just my kind of bloom...the white with speckles and nice, round shape is
just wonderful.

Thanks all!!!!

I got it from N. Popow as a wenshanense, but...
it def. does not have a similar shape to my other wensh. ! Will post a pic of that one's bloom from last year!

Nice Jean, Is wenshanense a natural hybrid or a species?

 

[NYEric]

Nice but not wensh.

 

[John M]

Wow, I really love this. What a beauty! I don't know enough about this group of species/hybrids to comment on it's lineage. I just know I'd love to have this in my collection!

 

[SlipperFan]

I like the spotting on the first one.

RHS register has it as a natural hybrid of bella and concolor!!!! Jean

 

[SlipperKing]

I suspect the first flower does have a shot or two of niveum as Gary has suggested.
