Paph. Franz Glanz (emersonii x armeniacum)
It's blooming again. Seems to do alright for me. I divided the plant after it bloomed last, though technically it divided itself. This is a single growth plus a small pup that decided to flower.
Surprisingly, the flower seems like it's larger this time than last time, though it's a little wonky.
Also, I'm detecting a faint fragrance. I can't quite put my finger on what it smells like though. Sort of light, fresh. It doesn't remind me of any particular scent I can put a name to. Maybe it'll come to me later.
I have to say that this is a really lovely hybrid, particularly for fans of yellow flowers like me. Sure, it's not quite as bright and intense as armeniacum, but it's still a nice creamy yellow. The plant itself is fairly small and compact, easily growing (and blooming) under lights. It seems to be somewhat vigorous as well. I keep it evenly moist year round, seems to do fine with that. It does have some issues from time to time with a touch of leaf rot and it's picked up bugs before, so I'd say it requires a little more advanced care compared to something like delenatii, but it isn't terribly much more difficult to grow.
