Paph. primulinum var. flavum

[Paphluvr]

For those of you who want "ever-blooming" orchids, try one of these if it appeals to you. The flowers last about 3-4 weeks each, and as you can see, sometimes more than one at a time. New buds continue to form at the end of the spike. It can bloom and continue to grow until it has had 3 doz. flowers or more on one spike (but not all at once).

The foliage is plain green but the length of bloom time makes up for this shortcoming.

Very nice. This will likely be my next paph!

Lovely shot.

I need to shoot these against a darker background to show off the hairiness of the petals. The background in these shots is my dining-room wall which is actually a mint green. When balancing for full shade (and truer color of the flower) the background looks gray.

Very Nice...on my List

Awesome!

Retook the shots with a black background. It shows off the hairiness of the flower better.

Are all primulinum that floriferous or is it applicable only to that variety?

They should all be that floriferous. A well grown, multi-growth plant can basically be in bloom all the time due to old growths continuing to elongate and bloom and new growths just starting. The flowers on the old spikes tend to be smaller as the spike grows longer.

Stunning photos.
