Two Spicerianum Hybrids

[Happypaphy7]

Lathamianum (x villosum)

This is the $10 steal from eBay from weeks ago, now opening up.
I like the coloration and how small the plant is!
Vigorous little thing since it already has three growths.
I am donating it to the local society though.

Hsinying Delight (x Stone Lovely)
This is a two growth division from my big clump.
I'm also donating this one.
Very long lasting beautiful flower!

Someone will be lucky.

I really like the Stone Lovely cross. Where do you find that one?

 

[Happypaphy7]

I bought it at a store in flower district here in the city many years ago.
It was a big clump, but one day it fell apart into a few pieces when repotting.
I have all away but kept two to myself.
strong plant with reliable blooming habit.

I like the Stone Lovely cross too, but I can't really see if
it has that wonderful purple staminode in the second photo.

 

[Ozpaph]

can you show the second one front on, please. It looks very interesting.

I like the second one too. I don't know anything about breeding but the first one looks like it would fit into one of those big family trees of a complex hybrid.

They are both nice!! I can't grow spices, too warm

There is no purple on the staminode. Just white with yellowish center.

Spicerianum seem very adapting, although I think I got an easy clone.

You have cooler nights than I do, so it should be a breeze.

Spicer, villosum, insigne... these are all very easy without enough chilling in my experience.
Complex hybrid x species have been even easier.

It is still opening up.
The dorsal will roll back at the base like spicerianum.
I like this kind of hybrid.
The deep green slowly fades over the course of 3 months.

This spicer is nice and chunky with very nice color. I've never seen
one with a white staminode. I like it.

 

[Ozpaph]

Thats a nice hybrid mix

Lathamianum looking much better after a few days of being open.
Villosum really adds some high gloss!

Nice, both of them.. Lathamianum is supposed to be a vigorous clumping plant, recently a bunch of these from Taiwan made it over here.. a vendor offered to sell me one big pot with a dozen flower spikes, but I got one with only 2..

I would keep the lathamianum, I like it, what a steal 10.00

Why didn't you get the big one?

I know, right? I couldn't believe it!

I actually ended up keeping it.
I did donate like 6 other paphs, though, 2 in bloom.
