Paph. NOID
Hi all,
I have received this Paphiopedilum in July 2007. At That Time, it had only one flower, and since it came from the supermarket (together with another one, that I have identified as Paph. Maudiae - it look also exactly like the one from Sagana in the topic below), I thought it would be the same kind of Hybrid. However, they both behave completely different. Paph. Maudiae had its flower, which after a while completed its life. The plant was "flowering"-quite for about 3 months, growing three new sprouts and starting after this time to produce a new flower (not yet open). Paph. incognito, has not stopped with flowering since then. The flower spike continued growing, then the first flower died and a second opened. Spike continued growing, new flower bud. second Flower died, and third open (this is the pic with flower and bud in Paph4 and Paph5 pics). I thought it would be over with this, but suddenly the spike strated to grow again, and a new flower bud is going to replace the third flower (still needs a while, but the little one is doing its best ) - and in between the spike is 80 cm tall
Do you have any idea what this Hybrid could be?
The actual colors are not as bright and "red" as in the pics...
