Let me present\u00a0Paphiopedilum<\/em> Leeanum, a lovely primary\u00a0hybrid\u00a0with Paphiopedilum\u00a0insigne<\/em> as the seed parent and\u00a0Paphiopedilum\u00a0spicerianum<\/em>\u00a0as the pollen contributor. It is an old classic as far as hybrids go, registered in Britain in back in 1884 when the orchid hybridization craze was first gaining momentum. Leeanum was one of the first of many\u00a0successful insigne<\/em>\u00a0crosses exhibiting enormous vitality and eagerness to\u00a0bloom, a quality making insigne<\/em> very popular in hybridization programs. Once plentiful in cultivation Leeanum is\u00a0now\u00a0a bit more scarce\u00a0even though I feel\u00a0it is making a bit of a comeback.<\/p>\n Arguably there was no need to improve on the original species in this case, but I think this cross still holds merit as it\u00a0has inherited all the best from both its parents. The\u00a0grace and classic lines are still there but the flower is a tad larger and more flamboyant. Having lost a smidgen of the\u00a0insigne<\/em>\u00a0graphic\u00a0pattern in the sail enough remain to make a statement along with the amazing shape the spicerianum<\/em>\u00a0sail adds to the party. Leeanum usually\u00a0blooms in the winter and the flower has some nice staying power, usually lasting\u00a0a couple\u00a0of months or more. It does not requite a whole lot of light and is pretty easy to grow, but with two intermediate growing parents it should be grown as such. I water pretty evenly year round, only slightly drier for a few months right after it is done flowering in the winter.\u00a0Since both parents are calcareous I add a little crushed sea shells to\u00a0the potting mix of medium bark and small leca.<\/p>\n Paphiopedilum<\/em> Leeanum.
