That is just incredible. Two questions. How big is the plant, and do you remember where you got it? I might have to find some more room! LOL

Love it.

the plant is about 2 ft tall and wide w/leaves and the spike itself is over 3ft long it takes up a lot of space....

I got it from an Orchid Show vendor who had only 1 of them. I already had a philipenense and wanted a darker flowered version. this fit the ticket >. Its been blooming since april and still going strong. It Drinks lots of water to keep them blooms up in the air..

That cross is registered as Paph. Addicted Phillip! How appropriate is that! LOL It's absolutely gorgeous! That dark red is really something!

[RJSquirrel]

I thought the same thing gal. But the addicted philip uses the x aductum var.anitum, not the anitum #10. This one isnt as costly as the addicted. its kind of like a knock off version for low income orchid addicts like me who cant afford to kill a 100 dollar plant, yet.

Hi there, nice looking plant. I think Anitum is a separate species now and not considered as a variety of adductum anymore. So the name of this cross is Paph Yang-Ji Apple.
