Tinh Nghia Orchids Nursery

Well, if I go out there, I will most likely pick a few good ones and don't touch single growth. That is the difference. The truth is, you can go there now and take all you want but what's the point.

Agreed Gego. That we are responsible people with knowledge and understanding. Hopefully this can be communicated to the locals and collectors so that they will have a future garden at their disposable while maintaining wild populations. Maybe even pollinate a few to set pods.

The moral of the story of paph. appletonianum Album.

Years ago a man had a paph. appletonianum found in Central South Vietnam, Da Lat. He has cultivated the plants in his garden . The plants bloom white, so an album ( Photo 1-4 ). A Division was brought to Europe and propagated. The man continued to take care of the other division until he almost broke it. He sells his broken plants to an orchid grower in Ha Giang, North Vietnam for $ 2,000. After about 3 years, the plants have grown well and are now blooming ( Photo 2 ,3,4). All descendants from these plants, paph. appletonianum album, which we now see in the world, are from the division that went to Europe.

Conclusion : Without this part to Europe we could never have seen one live, except in the book
Paphiopedilum: Eine Monographie aller Frauenschuh-Orchideen der asiatischen Tropen und Subtropen /A monograph of all tropical and subtropical Asiatic slipper-orchids (Englisch) Gebundene Ausgabe – 1. Januar 1988 .

Thanks Hakone for sharing this interesting story on this album. Goes to show you how one plant can make such a difference with the foresight and persistent of caring individuals. Luckily it didn’t waste away like the mastersianum album and the sangii album.

This is a lesson that all those in possession of rare plants to backup their plants in other collections to ensure the continuity of their precious possessions. Those who think they can take these plants to their grave must wake up and resume their role of guardianship more responsibly. These plants must survive through mankind’s greed and debacles.

I only saw Spicerianum album once in my life about 15 years ago after the plants were found. The owner kept it to himself. Since then I have not heard about these plants anymore, just like P. oii.

Do you have a picture of this spicerianum album by any chance? I would be interested to see this rare colour form.

Thank you for the link.

After examining the picture of the spicerianum album, it looks like the staminode has a blush of pink? Or is that a reflection?

P appletonianum Immaculata ( the owner : Pham Quoc Tinh )

Judging from the heart-shaped staminode, what you have may really be Paph. cerveranum f. album. With two-step breeding (first generation crossing to a normally coloured cerveranum, second generation a sib cross of the resulting seedlings), you could end up with about 25% album seedlings more vigorous than the original parent.
