I was just drawn to it when I saw it. There were two, one with the dorsal completely spread out and this one, which I brought home.

The tag says "Paph.Hsingying Citron '#15' * Paph.fairrieanum 'Green Giant' This is my second fairrieanum hybrid. The other one being a cross between fairrieanum and Yosemite Moon, which is currently sending up two flower buds very very slowly that I sometimes look at them and think they are stuck.

I looked up that name online and there weren't many images available, but the ones I saw were all white and green. This one has white and green, but also has some brown in it. I like the color and the look.

It has a new baby attached to its side as a bonus, yay!!!

The flower spike stands quite tall compared to my Maudiae ones. Leaves are slightly mottled.
I can't wait seeing it one day with lots of growths and flowers!

Thank you, Bill.
I like it too!

Just visited your gallery. The picture of your hybrid paph Supersuk"eureka" x paph. raisen pie is nice.
I have one similar to that, only the tag says paph Supersuk x paph. Hsinying Web. I have yet another one similar with no name tag, but they are both about to open in about a week.
I will post pictures then.

Bud- It's nice to have window at least so I can grow somthing. With my frequent misting to my plants, I wipe my window fairly often.

This cross was registered as Paph. Hsinying Fairtron by Ching Hua this year. It's very nice!

Thank you, Kim, Gloria, and Camille.

I would have brought two of them home because they had different looking dorsal, but with the limited space in the apartment (which is already full of flowers! lol), I really had to try hard just to get one. lol I like it everytime I see it.
Unfortunately though, the flower is fading now. I guess it's been in bloom for quite some time now already.

Well, at least now I know what the flower looks like and look forward to some wonderful future performance, hopefully next year.

Should I dry freeze the flower and keep the shape as it is now? lol
