Paph Angel Vein (S. Gratrix 'Cocker Spaniel' x fairrieanum)
Originally made by Kevin Porter in 1992, I remade it using a fairly large S. Gratrix that had somewhat droopy petals that immediately made me think of the ears of a cocker spaniel, hence the cultivar name. Because of the long petals, I thought it would be an ideal flower to cross with fairrieanum. Here is an old, nondigital picture of S. Gratrix 'Cocker Spaniel'. Unfortunately, the plant has passed on.
Here is the first of its progeny to bloom:
Paph Angel Vein '7-10'
