Paph godefroyae from May





OSSEA - June Table Display

These are the four plants (2 species and 2 hybrids) that were displayed in the OSSEA June Table Display. They were all jointly awarded first. Two for the species section and two for the hybrids section. One of the hybrids was placed overall second.

Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum - this is the second flower from this plant. Large flower measuring 84 mm across the NS. Dark brown marking over cream base.

Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum - this flask is a cross between the siblings of the above. 1st time flowering. This clone has a very round shape with good proportion between the dorsal sepal and petals. Dark and nice tessellations across the flower.

Paph Benkei - this is a hybrid between S. Gratrix (bellatullum x godefroyae) and godefroyae. It was registered in 2004 by a Japanese grower. This hybrid can easily be mistaken to a godefroyae. It came in overall second for the Table Display.

Paph hangianum x Paph Greyi - a beautiful hybrid with nice web markings over the light cream base and a clear pouch. It still retains the fragrance of hangianum. A nice hybrid to grow if you are not able to grow the sub genus of Parvisepalum
