What am I? Paphiopedilum lunatum

[Guldal]

What might this fella be?

 

[NYEric]

Paph.

 

[Guldal]

Paph.

Bingo! Might you provide an answer with a bit more speci(es)ficity?!

 

[abax]

Eric you are soooo astute! I don't know a great deal about Paphs.: I'm a Phrag. grower. Another astute comment...
it has really pretty leaves and I'm looking forward to seeing the flower.

 

[paphfreak]

Is it a species or hybrid?

 

[GuRu]

I will lean me out of the window now ...... Paph. dayanum, isn't it Jens.

 

[Paphluvr]

Did you purposely remove the tag or is it lost? Much easier to identify once it blooms.

Consider this reply to Eric:

Not a bad proposal...not quite there, though, Rudolf!

 

[GuRu]

Jens, my last cartridge in the barrel ..... Paph. callosum var. potentianum.

 

[richgarrison]

I'm with @Eric no doubt on that one....

Jens, my last cartridge in the barrel ..... Paph. callosum var. potentianum.

I hope this is the right answer. Those are lovely.

 

[Guldal]

Well, the answer is: P. lunatum

I'm not fully content with it, but it's a first flowering, so will just have to hope for a better result one of the next time around!

Rudolf, you got the section right both times: sect. barbata!

Could it be javanicum maybe?

 

[BrucherT]

It’s lovely. Absolutely lovely.

 

[Djthomp28]

I love the color.

Hi, to my compatriote
I think our posts just crossed, as the answer to the riddle was posted here:

Like Rudolf (GuRu) you weren't wide off the mark!
Kind regards, Jens

If you had named it Paph. tonsum x dayanum, i hadnt had any doubt!
