Stanhopea nigroviolacea semi-alba?
3 Attachment(s)
I bought this plant a number of years ago as an unbloomed seedling of what was supposed to be Stanhopea nigroviolacea. While it certainly appears to be that species (at least to me), the distinctive colors of that species are lacking in this one's flowers. I don't know what else to call it other than a semi-alba variety of Stanhopea nigroviolacea.
Oh, and being that I'm colorblind, would someone mind telling me what colors are in the bloom, please? Thank you! Steve |
OMG! Spectacular flower of colors eggshell,pale lime green and pale pink. Nigroviolacea is something I'd relish but this bloom is top drawer IMO! This foto goes into my collectables!

That's amazing, I don't think I have ever seen one like this........and now I want it lol
|
Beautiful blooms! How's the fragrance?

Thanks, everyone, for your comments.
Dea, thank you for the color description. I can see the light pink--but greens give me trouble, so I appreciate you identifying the lime green. Subrosa, the fragrance is strong, and exactly like the standard-flowered variety of the species (a little overpowering up close, but very good from a three foot plus distance). |

Wow, I think you've got one hell of a special plant! Very unusual and very beautiful!! You need to show, clone and breed this plant!

What a gorgeous elegant bloom!
|
Wonderful 'sport' - forget about semialba and give it a good clonal name!
A real stunning bloom! |
