June 2011 - Part 2

Folks,

Here are some blooms from June. A couple of hybrids and brachys.

Paph Red Shift x charlesworthii:
A nice hybrid with deep maroon colour. This hybrid takes the colour from Red Shift which is a red maudiae. The disappointment is the dorsal which does not exhibit the dorsal of charlesworthii. The flower is very long lasting.

Paph liemianum x concolor:
Another easy to grow hybrid which is grown in SH (semi-hydro). About 1cm of the pot is submerged in water. This hybrid clusters very well. The above has about 10 shoots in it.

Paph concolor fma longipetulum:
Another form of concolor that is beginning to see more often recently. This form has narrow dorsal and petals and a long streaky line across them.

Paph concolor:
A very easy to grow plant that needs bright light. This is a very well spread species which can be found all over Indo-China (Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam and SW China).

Paph angthong alba.
