Paphiopedilum Yang-Ji Hawk

[Clark Thomas Riley]

I love the multiflorals, particularly sanderianum. I like dark flowers, particularly anitum. Marry the two and you have a match made in heaven — Paphiopedilum Yang-Ji Hawk. I got a great plant of it from Frank Cervera at the 2024 Paph Forum in Kensington, Maryland. Give me a year and if it's still happy, I'll post my culture. I don't think it wise to give advice with no track record. But, oh, is it beautiful. The petal tips are really thin, leading to some apparent drying out.

Is this going to SEPOS?

 

[Clark Thomas Riley]

Yes. There have been better ones posted on this forum, but it's too pretty to stay home. I think it's a first-bloom. We'll see what next year brings.
