Paph. micranthum & Paph. Wössner Bellarmi
 

Just coming back from long holidays, and found these two guys blooming in my greenhouse... Both of them have bloomed much earlier than what I expected I don't know how the weather was like while I was away, but it seems to have accelerated some plants here! First time bloom in both cases!

Paph. Wössner Bellarmi (bellatulum x armeniacum): relatively good size and general shape, but with some color break and a tooth on the lips. At least no teeth on the petals, which are supposed to be common issue on this hybrid. Maybe next season the bloom improves...

Very cool. I like the wossner. White orchids are beautiful but I love some color. Of course both of them are very nice!

WOW, impressive!

Ramon - What a wonderful coming home surprise. The color in the micranthum is stunning and the tooth on the Wossner Belarmi will hopefully grow out on the next blooming.

Beautiful!

wonderful lookin happy paphy :)

Welcome back, hope you had a nice vacation. :)
Great surprise to come home too, the micranthum is especially stunning. When are they normally in bloom? The weather has been quite warm and sunny the past few weeks, making up for the crappy summer. Maybe that's why they're early.

Wow! That micranthum is gorgeous!

Wow, that micranthum is really stunning!

What a great welcome home for you :)

Thanks @ all! :)

Camille... micranthum is supposed to have a blooming peak between March and May... I have this in bloom and another in lower bid... but many of my plants behave weird this year...
