Paph.venustum 'album' and Paph. spicerianum
Neither one will win any awards, but they looked good together on the bench. The venustum is rather small and the dorsal on the spicerianum tilts forward too far, but I like them anyway. The one thing the spicerianum has going for it, though, is the fact that it grows like a cabbage and throws new growths all over the place. One of the parents was spicerianum 'Candor' HCC/AOS.

I always liked the colors of spicerianum, especially the purple staminode. |

Who cares about others judging your flowers? If you like your plants, then that's what it counts the most I think.
By the way, it sounds like you have a super clone of spicerianum that will soon give you a great flower show!

The division of the plant that I took the photos from has two growths in bloom, five previously bloomed growths (two with only 2-3 good leaves left) and is showing four new growths and possibly a fifth. And this is my small division! |
