Wow I thought it was a watercolor at first!

How can you be sure it isn't, Bruch? Rudolf most certain just want to brag about his uncanny photorealistic prowess in aquarelle by first showing his artistic endavours, then presenting an in-toto photo of his motive!

Brucher, thanks....but you clearly overestimate my painting skills.

Great blooming Rudolf. Well balance, both structure and color.
I have always wondered why this species has not been utilized more in hybridization.

......... Well balance, both structure and color.........

Thanks Rick, these are exactly my thoughts regarding this bloom. I like it very much.

 

[Ozpaph]

Now Paph. callosum is flowering....nothing spectacular but always nice to see .... furthermore this plant seems to be a reliable bloomer to me.

and for Jens and BrucherT the plant in toto

After only 11 months my Paph. venustum fma. albescens (measuresianum) is flowering again. This time with 2 flowers. So far it seems to me that this plant is more vigorous in my conditions than the normal coloured Paph. venustum. If you look closely at the base of the petals you will find these tiny dark spots, they look like dust. Therefore I'm not sure whether I can name it fma. measuresianum or not.

No reason to be in doubt, Rudolf: you can't! Anthocyanin is anthocyanin - and your plant ain't fma. measuresianum.
Stick with fma. albescens - and enjoy the beautiful flowers for what they are!

Whichever for it is does not take away from it beauty or the grower's skill. Fantastic flowers and pictures. Hopefully mine will look this good one day. They are still babies at the moment.

All nice. They do look like paintings. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful photos of beautiful flowers I can only echo the ‘painting like’ comments.

Stunners once again.

But I assure they are real and my painting skills are very bad.
