Paph niveum:A plant frown from flask and bloomed in less than 2 years. Round shape, small purple dots on white base. The plant is still small and the leaf span is between 6 to 8 cm.
Phrag pearcei:Phrag is short form for Phragmipedium. They are native to Peru and Ecquador. This compact plant has deep green grassy appearance and clumps easily. This plant was bought as a single growth locally and has grown to about 10 heads. The flowers are about 6 cm in size and are borne on spike of about 20 to 30 cm in height. It is a sequential bloomer and each flower can last a few weeks. Fairly easy to grow and it is one of Phrags that could tolerate the warm weather here. You can grow them sitting on a tray of water or alternatively you can grow them in SH (semi-hydro) by allowing some water to stay inside the pot.
Paph Benkei:A hybrid that was registered in 2004 from a cross between Paph godefroyae and S.Gratrix. It could easily be mistaken to be leucochilum. Round flower with burgundy streak and dots over cream base.The NS and DS are 68 and 48 mm respectively.
Paph concolor:Here are two forms of concolor. The left flower colour is very dark. This form is from NE Thailand. I decided to call her "Oringina" because the colour is almost towards orange. An uncommon colour for concolor. The right flower is the more commonly colour that you would encounter.
Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum:A nice round flower with burgundy tessellations over the light cream base.
