Paph rothschildianum

First bloom seedling from Orchid Zone--i have grown out a flat of these from very small seedlings 9 years ago.

Cross is 'Red Baron' x 'Chester Hill'. The CH side actually is crossed with Rex I believe, which appears dominant in this flower I think.

Very nice form and dark colored clone with decent size. NS 23 DW 5 PW 1.5. I have another one of these opening now as well.

I'm so confused....I thought they were summer bloomers.

Anyway awesome job raising them from babies!

NYEric · Jan 23, 2016

Not my thing, but nice anyway.

Happypaphy7 · Jan 23, 2016

I feel the same as Eric.

9 years!!!! Seeing these finally coming into bloom must be very exciting and rewarding!

I believe roth bloom in late spring into summer in the wild.
However, species take natural cues to know the season, so under cultivation blooming period can be somewhat or very different.

I agree its pretty early to see roths this time of year. My plant was super weird for blooming in December. Normally they start showing up in Spring shows around March/April/May, and by July they taper off pretty fast.

Congrats! How big is the plant?

The leaf colour if the picture is accurate is of concern.

Justin · Jan 23, 2016

Consett--The HPS was on so the leaves look more yellow. I do grow my mature plants in high light though.

Tnyr the plant is not huge. Maybe 65 cm ls. Has a lot of growing to do still.
