Another award under the papahiopedilum Alliance for this hybrid (Paph godefroyae leucochilum In-Charm SM/TPS x Paph armeniacum GV1000). This plant was obtained from a Taiwanese grower in July 2008 during the Singapore Garden Festival.It has an exceptional large flower. The NS measures 11 cm across. The size of the flower is twice the nice of the leaves (see photo). The colour and size is like armeniacum and the spotting like leucochilum. The parents leucochilum and armeniacum are usually between 7-10 and 8-10 cm respectively.
Note: Paph armenicum will not tolerate our hot summer temperature. To grow this species or the other parvisepalum (micranthum, delenatii, malipoense and emersonii), you need air conditioning to bring down the night temperature.
