Peloric Multifloral at TIOS 2014

[Scott Ware]

One of the more unusual things we saw at the Taiwan International Orchid Show earlier this month. It wasn't displayed with the regular show entries, so it didn't have a name on it. Someone associated with the show told me they were quite sure it was Paph. Saint Swithin. Whatever it is, it's one of the only peloric paphs I've seen that (IMHO) isn't just downright ugly.

Very interesting and, yes, one of the least objectionable paph pelorics ive seen.

You don't like insigne 'Oddity' ?

Probably because I'm weird too... but I like it a lot, this (probably) Paph. Saint Swithin!! I would be happy to have something like that!

I don't object to peloric Paphs, though most are fun not attractive. This is quite beautiful.

That is nice. I quite like this peloric Robert Jamieson. Interestingly it flowered normally first flowering but fully peloric the 2nd flowering suggesting the trait for this plant is not entirely genetic.

Mutation!
Striking pattern on the lateral petals!

 

[Ozpaph]

hate the insigne, sorry.

Isn't it unusual that all the flowers are peloric? Will it alway bloom thusly?
