Paph. lowii
Another Paph lowii. Four buds on first bloom seedling. Hard to believe that I got it as a single growth (25cm) plant last spring (Maybe I just got used to the coryopedilum growth rate???). Another one from Mr. Bear. I think its an okay lowii. Still prefer a clone with a good flower count.

Yes, they are pretty long. Normally I would stake but not on these kinds. Cascading is the best presentation on this blooms in my opinion.

Get richardianum, haynaldianum or haynaldianum var. laurae for that if you want small.

I almost bought haynaldianum (album) in bud at a show last month. It was indeed smallish.
I should have bought it just for instant gratification at least, but I had two big shopping bags loaded with paphs (maudiaes and parvis) and some others. lol
Well, I went back on sunday and it was of course gone. lol
How big does Bernice get?? I love that hybrid.
By the way, I bought a hybrid involving philippinense, roth, and wilhelmniae online which is supposed to come to me this week.
The leaf span is only about 8in and it is in spike!
Two reasons I bought it without thinking about anything else. lol
I am so so excited!!!!

It depends on the clones of both parents used. Paph philippinense is variable in size. Wilhelminae can possibly reduce the size of the plant.

The seller had about three of the same cross. The one I got was the smallest.
Maybe it means it will also have small flowers?
hmmm I guess I will find out.
As long as I like the flower shape color, and the plant stays rather on the smallish side, I will definitely keep it. otherwise, out! lol
