Here is a picture of the first flower:

Whole plant:

This is a comparison to it's parent (Conkoloco); I definately think it is an improvement:

WOW!:drool:

Mrs. Paph · Nov 6, 2008

Beautiful plant and Beautiful Bloom! Very nice cross.

swamprad · Nov 6, 2008

Wonderful!

slippertalker · Nov 6, 2008

That is spectacular! Much better form than I would assume from that cross; it appears that kolopakingii isn't as dominant in next generation crosses....

tocarmar · Nov 6, 2008

It looks like a huge armeniacum, multifloral!!!

Very Nice!! I'll have to get 1 now!!!

I like the armeniacum influence for color of course, and somewhat for the shape, and the striping and multi-floral from the other parent; a great result IMO!!!! Jean

(can some admin edit that for me)

O.K.

Is OL selling seedlings? I think this cross is a winner.

nikv · Nov 6, 2008

Absolutely astounding! :clap::clap::clap:

So what cross do you plan to make with it?

NYEric · Nov 6, 2008

Thanks Candace (for editing).

No, unfortunately I did not get many out of this cross (only 4 seedlings); but now that I know what it is going to look like, I will surely remake the cross, and eventually (when this plant gets big enough) I am sure we will sell divisions.

Thanks,

I was planning to put it onto one of our best Paph. wenshanense. It will keep the yellow colors going, and it will widen out the petals even more. Another possibility is to put it back onto a multifloral, to keep the flower count high, I was thinking on Paph. rothschildianum.

Here is a picture of the wenshanense that I was going to use:

Excellent job on the hybrid. Have you come up with a name for it? Makes me want to run out to the GH and stick armeniacum on mine now! Unfortunately I have no armeniacum

No I have not come up with a name yet. Any suggestions?? Maybe something with Golden, or Gold in it...
