Paph Deperle Album
 

Ive had the plant about 2 years old. One of the 1st still alive. Plant had mealys when I got it and I didnt even know what a mealy was. They just tore this plant up. Didnt have the heart to toss it out. Been a long time but it starting to bud about 2 months ago. Its fuzzy. :bowing
Alba or not I dont know. I see some called var album that others tell them they arent alba. So we see when it fully opens if the pollen cap is green or yellow.

:biggrin:

Good thing you didn't toss it after the mealy attack, looks like it's going to be worth the TLC!

RJ, that is simply GORGEOUS!! Great pic too!! I can even see the hairs!! Good job growing and blooming this baby!

Judi

thanks you:) the backside of the flower is just as awesome looking. I have get a better picture of that, you can see the blushing of tiny purple spots with the yellowish tinting. Just blows me away with being pure and simple.

Totally gorgeous!

Beautiful! Love the bloom!
