OSSEA November 2010 Table Display

There not many plants to display as the brachy flowering season has ended. Nevertheless, these are the 3 that were brought to the show.

Paph ang-thong alba:
A plant that was grown from flask. A nice proportion between the sepal and petals couple with a well developed lips. This plant was the overall winner under the Paph species section.
This natural hybrid was originally found on the Ang-thong Islands off the east coast of peninsular Thailand. There is much controversy on this hybrid. Some taxonomist named it under niveum var. ang-thong. In the RHS register it is treated as godefroyae var. ang-thong.
The man made hybrid between godefroyae and niveum is listed as Paph Greyi.

Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum:
An average plant (NS 72 mm across) with nice clear pouch.

Paph niveum:
A fairly large niveum which differs from the normal form that you would see. This clone has wavy sepal and petals.
