Paph Vanda M. Pearman
the parents were paph belatulum 'alba' x paph delenatii. Most of this alba cross have been not alba though but rather finely spotted.
It's its second blooming and though I have no photographic recordings of its first one. It sent 3 new growths in the same spot but this flowering growth matured faster. I've read brachysepalums may send many new growths.
Also a easier grower than belatulum as a species (for me at least at the moment) plus the delenatii increases spike length. Unfortunately several times I've seen photos of mutated pouches on this cross, so I'm happy with mine

Very nice!! What conditions are you giving this one? I have been unable to rebloom mine. It just keeps putting out new leaves on the current growth, almost 2 years now since it bloomed last.

Tindo I remember you had yours in a terrarium. I grow mine under lights and really nothing special. I'm sure yours will blom eventually and with more than one bloom too. |
