Some Paph blooms before holidays

[Kavanaru]

Before disappearing for few weeks due to holidays, some mobile shots of some plants in my greenhouse:

Paphiopedilum leuchochillum 'Dark Red' x sib: I had shown the plant on the left here few days ago. It turned yellower after 3 days. The plant on the right is supposed to be from the same flask,the difference between both is very obvious (those who has bought plants from Popow knows he very often puts 2 or 3 plants in the same pot when selling seedlings - this was one of those cases)

The diff. in shape and color of the leuchos is striking!!! Is the right one just opening? Cool coccineum and sukh. (of course, my fav.), and Imo the chances are good for the next bella bloom !!! Jean

 

[Kavanaru]

Yes, JL, the second leucho is not fully open ye, but as I will leave tomorrow morning I will not be able to take pics when fully open....

:drool::drool::drool:All nice, well ....
almost!
BUT look at the positive - the bella album is alive, grew well enough to at least produce a bud/flower so it should only get better from here!

Actually, I am happy as this plant is more vigorous than what I had expected for an album! next year I should get a good flower (two new growth has started on this plant already. so I cut off this flower after taking the picture)

Wonderful all!!!!

They all look good, except for the poor bellatulum -- it really got confused coming out of bud!

Great plants! I really like the leuco's.
