Thaianum '#1' 2021

[tnyr5]

Already put complex pollen on it. Such a shame to cut that wonderful Phal. bellina scent off short!

 

[Ozpaph]

very nice flower

 

[SlipperKing]

Sweet looking flower

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Very nice and full.

What did you cross with? And did you save the pollen ?

 

[tnyr5]

This is a competitive area of breeding, so mum's the word lol. I always save the pollen .

 

[dodidoki]

Very nice round shape!❤

Beautiful thaianum!

 

[werner.freitag]

Thai growers use it for breeding , too, promising.

 

[Happypaphy7]

So, it is fragrant! Great to know! Other brachys like leucochilum and concolor smelled like rotten eggs to my nose. lol

 

[tnyr5]

Well, some of the ones from this batch are...

 

[werner.freitag]

I found often fragrant plants here for sale .
dont know if all are fragrant

 

[Rockbend]

I've bloomed many, from different sources, and in my experience 50% or less are fragrant even from the same source.

But when they are... awesome!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Btw what is the flower measurements for natural spread?

 

[tnyr5]

I didn't measure the ns because I pollinated it before it completely opened, but here are the segment widths:
Dorsal 2.3cm wide by 1.7cm long, petals 2cm wide by 2.5cm long, synsepal 1.4cm wide by 1.7cm long. Pouch...was removed lol, but you can see that it's proportional.

 

[werner.freitag]

one of my seedlings is blooming........ not fragrant

 

[GuRu]

To see Paph thaianum flowers is always great and both are very nice ones.

@Werner You bought this plant as a seedling or did you propagate it yourself?

 

[werner.freitag]

Rudolf, its from a Thai breeder

all my seedlings are from random seed pods on my plants , growing on pots of older plants

propagation makes no sense, what to do then ? I am not allowed to do any business

 

[papheteer]

Amazing shape!
