Paph leuchochilum
 

This was bought as the one of two seedlings, about two years ago, and is the first one to open (the other is in low bud now)... I must admit I was expecting a stronger colored flower, as the mother plant is supposed to be very dark (must admit, I have never seen it!) The yellowish/greenish color is true...

In general I am happy with the flower, but hope the shape improves a bit in future blooming (at least the petals should not revert so strongly)

That's not bad for a first bloom Ramon. I think it's quite pretty. It would be interesting to see a picture of the parent plant.

oh wow! I love it! :love:

Ramon - not bad for a first bloom seedling, hopefully the curl will grow out on the next blooming. I don't mind that it is not dark, it has very good shape basically and I love the pristine white pouch. Do you know who's breeding line it is out of?
