Sept 2011

Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum 155-8:
- This is the second bloom. This was one of the parents that made the cross for 157. Dark burgundy markings all over light cream base. Another crossing that have been producing dark, well marked and round flower. Flower 157 inherited the features of this parent. The NS and DS measure 65 and 40 mm respectively.
Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum 155-7:
A sibling from the same flask that produced the above bloom.
.
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 godefroyae. Round flower with burgundy streaks over cream base. I reckon this clone should be around 30% S..Gratrix and 70% of it from godefroyae. The shape and markings are strongly influenced by godefroyae . The NS and DS are 75 and 40 mm respectively.

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.

Paph niveum:
A round with wavy fringe flower, covered with light purple dots over the white base base. Niveum blooms are very long lasting averaging between 6 to 8 weeks.
The flower NS and DS are 60 and 42 mm respectively.
