Is that a cross between armeniacum, and one of the sequentials like primulinum?

Hi Rickl,

exactly it's an hybrid between armeniacum and primulinum. On one spike there 2 or 3 flowers which are open sequencialy

It's very nice. Are the leaves more like armenicum or primulinum?

Both of the parent species come from calcerious (limestone rocky) areas.
Do you supplement any calcium to this plant.

Hi,

Yes the leaf looks like armeniacum but are more greenish.

I don't take care about the soil (calcerious)... All my paph are watering with the same water (PH between 6 and 6,5) but all are in Cubes rock wool which is "calcerious".
