strange pigmentation

[@n@iwod]

This is a paph in bud. Guess which one it is !

It's curious that there is a change in coloration at the base of the latest leaf.
The coloration doesn't progress, it looks healthy, in my point of view, that is not a bacterium or fungus.

Bud continue to grow and appears healthy.

Have you ever seen this kind of pigmentation as the leaves of a cattleya overexposed to the light ?

I've often seen that on sheaths when a darker colored flower is expected. I think it's completely normal.

 

[Candace]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

I had that on a new leaf of a P.E.Y., I thought it was a bud, but no it wasn't!

Looks like my Sander's Pride

Because i am not sure of my good understanding of the word "sheaths", we agree we speak about that

I agree it seems ok but it's the first time i bloom this species !

I love PEY. Maybe you have to wait again ?

It's a species. You are warm !

I'm guessing it's philippinense. And it looks very healthy, not rot of any sort. You're looking at the base of the bract which is commonly pigmented.

P. phil. or roebellinii sounds good to me!

 

[Heather]

Yes, we agree, that is the sheath (where the inflorescence emerges from.)

Yes it's a sanderianum

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Coloration is normal

Can't wait to see yours when it's open!

 

[@n@iwod]

Excellent Jon ! Can you confirm that it is a sand too ?

Bud grows very fast.

Your sand, how many flowers did you get ?

One's more, it's the proof that sands can flower in a single growth !

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

That's the Sander's Pride I was talking about, I'm not sure if I have pics of sanderianum in spike.

Yahoo!!

Most sanderianum are done blooming now, but I know of some that like to bloom in August/September. I have a mature one that's due to bloom too, so maybe it will.
