Paph Magic Lantern x Norito Hasegawa

smartie2000 · Mar 14, 2011

The cross is Paph Magic Lantern ‘Red sunset’ x Norito Hasegawa ‘Vista Del Monte’ AM/AOS. I bought it from Orchid Inn. First blooming of this plant.
So It is 25% delenatii, 25% micranthum 25% armeniacum and 25% malipoense. some of everything.

The small size of the petals was unexpected. I am sure some lucky growers got some plants with larger petals. ...maybe next blooming will be better? The substance is good though, maybe the bloom will last longer.

I think the bloom will become more white as it ages. And maybe it will be more opened.

I think that looks REALLY cool; but, I do think it will be very different next time. Right now, it's basically deformed. The petals and sepals seem to have stopped growing at some point; but, the staminode sheild and pouch grew to normal size. I bet the flower is more in proportion next time. I really like this "look" though. If it were mine and it stayed with these proportions in subsequent bloomings, I'd be pleased!

That looks wonderful Fren. Love the colour and the staminode looks cool. I wish it was mine. Nice photos as well.

Looks as if the petals and dorsal sizes take after the micranthum part of the family!

chrismende · Mar 14, 2011

It's a charming plant, and one I'd love to get, now that you've alerted us all to it! Wonder how much color variation there will be.

No fragrance yet, but I kepted trying because it looked fragrant.

....lol and you need more plants?

oke:

Super nice outcome! The color combo really sets this one off. I predict the petals to expand in future bloomings.

Jorch · Mar 14, 2011

I like the color combo! very cool-looking parvi for sure

The pic in that link is not of this cross, it's Magic Lantern x Fanaticum & looks like what one would expect.

The almost solid lime green colour of the petals brings out the whole flower perfectly..

W. Beetus · Mar 14, 2011

Great bloom! This cross looks to have quite a bit of potential.

SlipperFan · Mar 14, 2011

I agree, lots of potential. And from the two I've seen posted, lots of variability!
