Paphiopedilum Temptation
(P. kolopakingii x philippinense).

This is a BIG plant. Size and flower count comes from P. kolopakingii, color and twisted petals from P. philippinense. #orchids 🌴 🌱

Good morning early birds! I woke super super super early, but this is such a peaceful time: the day ahead like a secret waiting to be revealed!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

I close the week on Primulaceae with a few leftover photos:
1. Myrsine asymmetrica of New Caledonia has asymmetrical leaves. Very weird!
2. Myrsine divaricata is one of New Zealand’s divaricating shrubs.
3. Primula clevelandii var. clevelandii (formerly Dodecatheon c.)

Oops, almost forgot to show you the leaves. They are heart-shaped and have a soft, quilted appearance. 5/5

Tiny white specks form in various places on the leaves. These are supposedly protein-rich pearl bodies and suggest a mutualistic relationship with ants (or maybe predatory mites?). 4/5

. . . the leaves and inflorescences sprout from a rhizome that is expanded into a big, bizarre, irregular lump that grows above the potting mix. You’d think the tuberous rhizome would make the plant drought tolerant, but instead, it shrivels very rapidly whenever the potting mix dries out. 3/5

Monolena primuliflora is a plant that becomes cooler the longer you look at it. It’s flowers are pretty, but no different than any number of Melastomataceae. Usually only one is open at a time, but . . .

It's definitely one of the "premium" (Begonia seller's terms) SE Asian Begonias. I didn't think anything could look as black and stunning as "Darth" (B. darthvaderiana) and then I learned about this beauty. Here's a pic of "Darth" for comparison. They're both just so incredible.

Mr. CMG sent this pic today. My adorable senior mom named it ‘Charlie’. Went downstairs immediately & dug out some leftover plastic tubing saved from rain barrel kits, cut to fit & split to protect my young columnar apples from bun-bun chomps.

On this day in 1981, #SoftCell released their debut studio album, "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret".

The album's success was bolstered by the popularity of the cover version of #GloriaJones song "Tainted Love", which topped the charts worldwide and became the second best-selling British single of 1981.
