Paph. Suger Suite

[mollycart1]

Hi all

Here is my Suger Suite just opened. One of my favorites.

Aaaaaw, that is a beautiful (sweet) one! Well grown!

nice plant and gorgeous flower... however, it looks more like Paph. Chou Yi-Yuki (x hangianum). I have read that Chou Yi-Yuki has been sold in the USA labelled as Paph. Sugar Suite (Paph. niveum x emersonii).

If you see the stam, it doe snot look much like emersonii...

Really really nice one.

I am envious. That is gorgeous.

That is one 'sweet' plant, Naoki.

That really stinks. It is mis-labeled and I couldn't even spell, "sugar".

well.. I think you are lucky in this case, if it is indeed mislabelled... Paph. Chou Yi-Yuki is a great Hybrid, like most hybrids of Paph. hangianum with Brachypetalum alliance. Keep in mind that Paph. hangianum and its hybrids are not legal in the USA, therefore it is a rare hybrid in the USA too (I know many in your country who "would kill" for it )

Is this one fragrant? I currently have Paph. hangianum x godefroyae var leuchochilum in bloom... it has the great fragrance of hangianum....

NOPE. Darn!

It's very pretty, Naoki. How long did it take from spike/ sheath development to bloom?

I have 2 Paphs in spike right now. Somehow, they managed to survive my care. The sheath/ spike, whatever that thing is called, is growing sooooo slowly.
