I have them all over the greenhouse, and they have really hit their stride with lots of buds this year. They are mixed with other paphs, lows at 50 F and highs to about 100, 80-90% shade, normal mix for the pot size (kiwi #2, 3:1 with #3 perlite), consistently watered with no rest. I find they...

Maurice J. Cote is venustum x Stone Lovely, while Meon x Oriental Enchantment is pure green alba with a fairly high percentage of sukhakulii. Venustum alba doesn't line up with callosum / lawrenceanum type albas. None of these were very albinistic. That said, with that shot of standard complex...

I have some of these for sale. PM! Mike's are from me. Ross and I found them in normal seed population of delenatii at Hausermanns. They bloom totally normal.

SVO has these coming to be released in February...

I am so glad you have that still...

I'll go to both. I can bring people plants and/or ship from Hawaii...

I guess I'll be there...lol

It's fine - you're certainly entitled to your opinion about it. I would say it's pretty close to what I expected, but the red lip is a surprise. The one I kept looks similar in terms of color but has fuller flowers and better count. I think the next step would be back to a Catasetum, probably...

Going, selling, and will be writing up the meeting for the Slipper Orchid Alliance, and probably for the Orchid Digest as well...hope to see you there!

Pretty excited about these... https://paphparadise.com/product/mexipedium-xerophyticum-2/ I wonder why people don't have seedlings for sale very often?

Sorry, your flower is mislabeled. Both parents come from Peter Black; both parents are rather nice yellows, and there are no spotted or red flowers in the background of either. Perhaps you could ask the vendor if there was a mix-up in the nursery?

wow that's lovely

Interesting you should choose Winston Churchill as an example. There are a number of significant clones of Winston Churchill resulting from sibbing 'Redoubtable' and 'Indomitable'. These, termed F2, include clones like 'Atlas', 'Commonwealth', 'British Enterprise', 'Eminence', and 'Wyndmoor'...

I might add that these anecdotes appear (or will) in the Orchid Digest; Part II of The History of Extant Complex Paphiopedilums has been submitted and will hopefully appear soon...Puddle and Aberconway will in part III...
