The mysterious Paph. Yospur

primulinum (the most likely non-listed parent that makes it sequentially flowering)

conco-bellatulum (the other parent species listed on the tag)

Paph. delenatii (one of the parent species)

This is Paph. Yospur. I bought it at Smith & Hawkins on last monday. It's tag says "Paph. Yospur (delenatii x conco-bellatulum). THe flower looks like it is a cross of those two orchids.

Paph. Yospur- the one that I bought

The mystery comes in here: conco-bellatulum and delenatii are both single-flower species. That means that they would only have one flower (possible and rarely two if grown really well) per growth.

The plant that I bought is clearly sequentially blooming (meaning one flower opens while several more buds develop, and then by the time the open flower fades and falls off the next bud is opening.)

I have posted the pics and the question on a message board and several people agree that there must be a third species in this orchid's background. And it must be from the section cochopetelum, which are all sequentially blooming species. It has been suggested and it makes sense that the mystery species is primulinum.

While it can be annoying when plants aren't properly labeled, I enjoy this aspect of orchids. It is fun to be do detective work and learn about the backgrounds of plants that you own!
