We are very delighted to have this remarkable remake from the premier Paph hybridizer, Mr. Hung Sheng Bear of Taiwan. Mr. Bear is the past president of Taiwan Paphiopedilum Society (TPS). He has the best Paphiopedilum species collection in Taiwan, if not all of Asia. This gorgeous remake of the classic primary hybrid was created using his awarded Paphs.
The pod parent, Paph. primulinum ‘Bear’, has a very good color and flower shape. The pollen parent, Paph. haynaldianum 'Bear' SM/TPS, was awarded a Silver Medal by the Taiwan Paphiopedilum Society. It has nice, large flowers with a dark purple petals. Both parents are easy to grow sequential bloomers.
Paphs detest soggy growing medium; pot in well-draining media. Grow these plants in intermediate light and warm temperature with high humidity and good air circulation. Water twice per week for best results. As with all Paphs, its roots are sensitive to salt buildup from excess fertilizer which causes leaf tips to turn brown. It is a good practice to flush the medium with fresh, clean water once a month and repot Paphs in fresh media every year. Excellent for growing under lights, on a windowsill, or in an orchid cabinet. This vigorous strain of Paph. Henrietta Fujiwara is a compact–growing, sequential bloomer with 5 to 8 flowers per spike and has a blooming period of 4 – 6 months during late spring to late summer. Flowers are long lasting with a heavy substance. We have noticed the amazing hybrid vigor in these plants. They grow very well alongside our novelty Phalaenopsis. Excellent for beginners and experienced growers alike. Highly recommended.
