Paph hermannii

[Paul]

A very easy growing species, blooms twice a year (spring and late summer)

I've wait too long to repot so leaves are a little yellowish and only two blooms. next year it will be a much bigger plant

 

[Dido]

looks really nice

 

[SlipperFan]

I love the waviness!

 

[Carkin]

That is very nice!!!

 

[Stone]

Well grown.

 

[Ozpaph]

very interesting.
Is this a species or a natural hybrid?

 

[John M]

I LIKE this! I don't know anything about this species. It looks like henryanum x barbigerum; but, without the markings you'd expect from henryanum. Like others, I really like the waviness. Gives lots of character!

 

[chris20]

Very nice-- does look like henryanum with a little hirsutissimum.

 

[Rick]

This one is very nice with lots of waviness in the petals and sepals.

This is very nice! First time I have seen this.

I'm not familiar with this Paph., but the ruffles are wonderful.

 

[JeanLux]

Bravo Paul!!!! Is your mix bark-only?? Jean

 

[Paul]

yes Jean, pure bark (Orchiata). Like almost all my potted plants, now.

 

[eggshells]

Looking very healthy. Great job.

 

[SlipperKing]

Great looking flower Paul. I'll have to ck on mine to see if its open yet.

very interesting.

that's still unclear
but i love it!

 

[Trithor]

Very attractive. Nice big plant too.

 

[Stone]

that's still unclear
but i love it!

Apparently it is (was?) a very large and stabilized population and selfings breed true so it is a species. But it may be a new species derived from henryanum and something else? Xavier will know this?

I agree, a species in transition (but aren't they all!)
