August 2012 - Paph godefroyaes, fma leucochilum and concolor alba

Paph godefroyae "Blacky" HCC/OSSEA This is the third bloom for this plant. The first was in Oct 2010 when it was awarded HCC. The petals and sepal are almost covered with purple red. The NS for the petals and sepal are 72 and 42 mm respectively across. The pollens of the previous two blooms  have been used to cross with some some other godefroyaes. We will see what the outcome is going to be when it starts to bloom.

Paph concolor alba:

This is the first to flower from a flask that was obtained in 2009. It took a bit longer that the other brachy flasks.  Single flower of average form displayed on one short, leaning inflorescence; sepals and petals very clear, pale cream  yellow; pouch very light yellow and  staminode yellow gold.  Flower of this rare, unusual color variety is slightly smaller than normal colored type. The NS is 50 mm across.

Paph godefroyae fma leucochilum:

Petals and sepals creamy yellow colour. Dorsal and petals heavily spotted with burgundy spots.
