Final Update: Paph roebelenii

Now that the 3rd flower is mostly open, I thought you all would like to see how much twisting the first two have done.

I tried this lighter background to show the petals better.

Petals color is very dark!

Nice clone.

That's a good one, Rick!

 

[Marco]

Wow. That's as good as it gets !

A really great plant you have there! I have one in bud, I sure hope it has petals close to yours!

Rick, these flowers are impressive, very intense dark colouration of the petals and the dorsal - congrats.

Very intense color and a good contrast to the dorsal. Impressive. One of my favs. Congrats!!!!!

Crazy petals on that one. The highest flower count I have seen is 12 flowers on one stem.

12 on a phili!! That would have been amazing to see. Did you get a pic?

Thanks all. Not any red tones that I can tell.

I'd like to see 12 to. Rick Lockwood's plant has had 7 flowers but he says the first is fading away by the time #7 opens.

I looked on my files and I can't seem to find that particular photo. But this is the same clone only when it was way smaller. The photo (with 12) I saw was the same variegated clone except it has about 20-30 growths.

That's impressive with 8/7! The plant looks a little rough. Freshly collected?
