ID help please for three Paphs.

[Myrle Diefendorf]

. I bought these three paphs at the grocery store yesterday for $15. I have no idea what their parentage is NoID. They came from a supplier called Color Orchids. They are potted in small bark, and look very healthy with new growth coming on both sides. One has a double flower. The flowers are huge and waxy.

All three of those appear to be 'complex' Paphs, meaning they have quite a few things in them that make them what they are. Very difficult to ID. I can tell you the one in the middle looks very similar to my Paph Keyshill, however.

I'd have to say, beautiful, but nearly impossible to ID, unless maybe you contact the supplier.

Your grocery store carry these???
I mean NOID, but at that price, I would buy tons!!!

Whether taged or not, these start at $50 here. tax included. ridiculous!

By the way, without the tags, even the supplier will not be able to tell you.

There are just so many hybrids that look literally the same. Also, within the same grex (sharing the same parents), the variability is crazy! which makes it impossible to ID.

The closet you can get is that they all have insigne and villosum, possibly spicerianum in the earliest beginning point of the hybridization. That's about it.

I googled paphiopedilums and got a page of Marriott Orchids which showed hundreds of similar orchids. No way could I imagine naming that many similar flowers. I don't show orchids anyway so it doesn't matter.

I'm sure you had a lot of fun looking at their wonderful paphs!
