Paph. rothschildianum

I couldn't believe it when I saw a bud emerging from a one-growth seedling! But now that it is open, I understand why so many paphaholics are crazy about roth. Parents are ‘Janet’ FCC/AOS x ‘Chester Hill’ AM/AOS -- from Carter & Holmes.

Oh, wow! Your photography never ceases to amaze me! You've once again captured the beauty of an exquisite orchid! :clap:

I just had to pull myself back up from the floor too. I still can't decide what's better, your pictures, or the flowers!

John Boy · May 6, 2010

are you using studio-equipment by any chance?

COOOL staminode shot almost makes me feel uncomfortable. Looking at things you cant norally see with the eye up close like the eyes of a fly freak me out lol

Dot,

I'm convinced you could even make me look handsome with your photography!!!
That's the nicest of the (Janet X Chester Hills) I've seen! Speaks to your great culture.

this roth is crazy!!! wow !!

Candace · May 6, 2010

My one growth roth. died when I let it bloom. I hope yours doesn't weaken...maybe you should cut the spike(gasp). It's wonderful.

Stunning flowers and photos Dot. Congratulations on getting your roth to flower. It is a great start.

nice petals. exellent photo of the staminode

I too lost a roth. by letting it bloom on a small single growth. That said, it only put up two flowers. That must be one happy plant and I'm glad you let it bloom.

SlipperFan · May 6, 2010

Thanks everyone -- you are all too kind!

paworsport, the first flower to open (bottom one) has a ns of 7.5" (10.05 cm)

No -- my set-up is really quite simple: a table in the middle of my sunroom, black velvet behind the plant. No direct sun. I often use a reflector-card to bounce light up into the dorsal. I always use a tripod. Although I have a Nikon DSLR, I've been using my new Fuji Finepix 5200 for the past two or three months.

everything has been said, so I'll stick to (!!!)
