Paphiopedilum superbiens with 4 spikes
2 Attachment(s)
This plant has done well in my conditions. Currently there is one open flower (a bit faded now) and 3 more on the way. One of the other 3 has just started so isn't clear in the photo. I'll probably repot this spring. The inflorescences are a little wonky because they started out facing the window. I feared they would touch the cold window glass and also wanted to see the flowers so turned it.

nicely grown but doesn't look like pure superbiens to me...

don't take it personal, while I'm not a taxonomist I've been growing paphs for a long time and have not seen any superbiens that don't look like the other photo. It's just not a variable species.
That being said, I remember something being sold as a superbiens many years ago that looked like your plant, which is much paler with less spotting. 'MEm Clarence Schubert' or something if my memory serves me correct. I don't think that was a true superbiens. this seems more like a taxonomic debate, if they are saying the one you have is the 'true' superbiens or maybe some new form. |
