Here is a plant, I bought as "Paph. ang-thong var. alba".
What do you think, could it be P. concolor forma album?

This album is smelling like my concolor. Does anyone know, are godefroyae or ang-thong smelling like concolor?

I looked in Olafs book "Genus Paphiopedilum, Albino Forms" too, but the pictures don't allow me to identify my plant.

Great looking flower!! I have a Paph. godefroyae var. ang-thong (not alba), and your doesn't look like mine.....sorry I don't have a picture, my hard drive crashed and i lost all my pictures!

Here is a picture of my recently bloomed Paph. concolor, I am no expert, but your kinda look like mine... here is the picture for your comparison

Thank you Chun Yee! My concolor looks similar to yours, but I have no picture of it and it doesn't bloom now, so I can't compare the staminodiums. And my "P. ang-thong album" is not as white as it seems to be on the picture. It is of a little bit creamy or yellowish color.
Do you know, wether your P. ang-thong smells?

Olaf told me now, that it is a albine form of Paph. x ang-thong.

hhhhhmmm.... OK, Olaf is really the expert, so I trust his opinion about this plant... There is laways something new to learn...

however, I would have never thought of it as ang-thong... I would have gone for concolor album too...
