Paphs on a Cold Day
 

Here are some new Paphs opening over the last several days. The shape on the Kimberly Szabo isn't the best but I like the color and the spots. I also think the name on the chamberlainianum is wrong but this plant has 2 spikes and just keeps putting on a show. It has had flowers for the past 6 months, at least!

Some nice blooms you've got there Howard... Jim.

I agree, really nice blooms!

Really nice, I love the colours of that first one as well. The last one reminds me a lot of Paph Pinocchio although the shape is not quite the same.

Well done, Howard. I really like the first one, faults and all.

Very cool blooms! Thanks for showing us!

nice blooms!! :bowing
What makes you think that the second one is not Paph chamberlainianum? I googled pics of it, and I have a hard time seeing differences. Could it be Paph glaucophyllum? Looks very similar to Paph chamberlainianum.

Because I know, now, it is Paph liemianum. Paph chamberlainianum doesn't have the white "halo" or picotee around the outside of the dorsal. The name on my tag is wrong.

A couple of these look so similar that to my untrained eye the differences are hard to spot.

Here are both of them from another source. You can see also chamberlaininum is a larger flower.

liemianum 'Candor Carousel'

chamberlainianum (victoria-reginae) (1)

Your paphs are great!!

I like that Paph liemianum(or Paph chamberlainianum) even more
