Default Paph. Toni Semple x Paph. liemianum '#5'

Last year, I was walking through Home Depot, and my heart skipped a beat. From across the garden center, I thought I saw Paph. lowii staring at me. "There was no way I was finding Paph. lowii at Home Depot", I thought to myself as I raced across the garden center.. Well, I was right, but it is a lowii hybrid. Paph. Toni Semple is Paph. (haynaldianum x lowii). The lowii genes are very prominant in this one, as in most of it's hybrids. So I had to get it anyway.

I like that one, Jasen. Looks like the best of both parents.

Yeah, I couldn't really afford it, at the time.....but there was no way I was letting that thing die at Home Depot. Plus, ever since the rot got my lowii, I can't help but to grab anything that looks like it. Man I gotta get a new lowii, one of these days!
