Paph delenatii alba

[Fairorchids]

First bloom seedling, and much better than my other alba.

Really nice!

Comment on your SPCOP declaration:
I gave up with the renaming business. If they try to do this to herbs, people will begin accidentally poisoning themselves.
I understand that many new things are being revealed by genetic analysis but there must be a better way to go about doing this. When I introduce an orchid at an OS meeting, I have just been sticking to whatever the vendor has on the tags (Except for Hausermann's name for the Phal bellina but I am beginning to see Hausermann's logic).

Your comment about Phal bellina intrigues me. I am not in the 'Chicagoland' region, so I do not have much contact with Hausermann. Can you elaborate on this subject?

They still have it labeled as a Phal. violacea var. Borneo.

Lovely!

That delenatii is beautiful.

What does the foliage look like? Is it a typical delenatii pattern minus the anthocyanin pigmentation?

This is a lovely flower.

Correct, leaves are dark/light (almost white) patterned.
