This niveum spiked and bloomed in the compot! The flower is about 5.5cm across and it's very round. The plant is very relatively small as compare to other niveum that I have.
A hybrid that is rare seen around, may be due to the shape of the flower. You don't see much of bellatulum in it, however, the dorsal does resemble one of the parents, exul.
Very easy plant to grow, can withstand hot season, and brighter light. One thing that I really want to complain is that, it took almost 3 plus months to bloom! (hopefully the flower can last for 3 months!)
First bloom after adopting it from a friend whom decided to give it up last year, the bud was huge prior to blooming, unfortunately, the flower did not open up more.
After 2 years out from flask, this is the first one to bloom. Had been very lucky that 100% of them grew up successfully. currently there are few more budding, hope to see bigger flower.
Paph spicerianum
One of the easiest paph to grow in SG, spicerianum is one of those intermediate paph that that grow very well in SG, not much attention needed, it will just grow and grow and grow...
First bloomed for this pot, all 3 flowers has beautiful nice markings. In the past ang-thong was classified as part of godefroyae's family, or too known as natural hybrid of godefroyae and niveum, man made of godefroyae and niveum is known as Greyi.
Paph ang-thong is now recognized as a species of its own.
I have more than 10 now in bloomed, but not all of them were closed to perfection, except these 2! Round shape and with rather even petals.
was rather unfortunate for the second godefroyae, didn't know that it was already bloomed when I spray pesticide. developed some brown spots on the flower!
