Paphiopedilum concolor var alba

Happy New Year 2015 to all my visitors!!

This flower opened about 2 days ago.  The plant is grown in moderate shade with the typical Brachy mix with lots of stony material.  Concolors are quite easy to grow in singapore but albinos tend to be a bit weaker genetically so lets hope this plant can thrive.

The color is the pale yellow background of the typical concolor.  In my opinion the form is not very good but generally the flower looks pleasant.

Should it be referred to as var. sulphurinum instead of var. alba? since alba means white? You decide.


A couple of days later .....
