Noted for its large, brilliantly colored yellow flowers, Paph. armeniacum also has an interesting growth habit: sending out stolons, or 'runners', which can emerge from the base of the plant itself or occasionally from a root. Note in the above photo that the stolons have followed exactly the shape of the pot as they were growing, first heading down into the potting mix, then once attaining a certain length and vigor, they proceed to grow upward toward the light. Once the stolons emerge from the potting mix, they will begin to grow tiny, true leaves, which will enlarge and increase in number, finally sending out roots and becoming a secondary growth, or offshoot, from the main plant---a true clone of the mother plant. This type of growth is less common in Paph. micranthum and we have not observed it in any of the other Parvisepalums.
