sry man that's not the real deal. very different dorsal on yours, which to me is Actaeus or maybe a normal form crossed to HH. I have seen many pieces in flower both at Orchid Zone and in the collection of Arnie Klehm (from the collection of W.W. Wilson), and they look identical to the RHS...

yellow stuartiana - this would be awesome in yellow...

great form...i like the little speckles in lines from Brownstone and originally from Honey Plume...some great colors in there.

fischeri x schlimii? leaves look like no kovachii at all...just because it's pink doesn't mean kovachii for sure. the lack of recurving of the lower parts of the petals / lower parts of the dorsal look to me like it's either not a kovachii hybrid or, alternately, it's a really good one!

I think you can get to this type of flower by straight crossing complex to brachy rather than using low-fertility things like Winbell... how's the stem on this plant? short? I'd like to see pix of just Winston Churchill x S. Gratrix. fyi look up Paph. Mount Everest to see the effect of...

so surprised the Unique was fertile...fertility is such a huge issue with fairrieanum... lol at me being wrong with having roth as a parent instead of a grandparent - nice work Teresa getting all the right species

yay...i can't believe that cross exists...looking at some of those crosses made with A. de Lairesse and Morganiae...wow

I think Teresa's on the right track, but I think the multi has to be the parent rather than the grandparent given 3 flowers on this one... so I guess Dallas (curtisii x fairrieanum) x roth

good example - to the best of my knowledge canhii is not legal presently. the requirement to produce paperwork with plants appears to disappear by gestalt - eventually it is "accepted" that enough plants are legally (?) in the trade to allow this restriction to be released. I would say that...

Thanks for providing that and sorry for your experience. I think the issue at work here is, just as you said, that when your plant was awarded, gigantifolium was not legal, and now it's been imported legally and it and its hybrids are legal. Can you provide another example of an organization...

I never said you were complaining and I certainly never said you weren't "allowed" to say whatever you want about the system. I would simply contend that the easiest way to change an organization you think has problems, but also intrinsic value, is from within it. I'm sure all the judges would...

if you are concerned about judging, and you are interested in orchids, why don't you forget those excuses and become a judge. I did, I'm in Boylston, and I would welcome with open arms another person interested in bettering the system and dealing with some of the supposed and actual problems at...

'prieta' is still around...i have a piece...if only someone could get it to australia!

yeah i think so...they're pretty consistently different...harder from a photo, obvious in person given the size difference of the flowers alone.

i was gonna say 'Magnificum' - this is much smaller, esp. petal width than 'The Queen', and 'The Queen' is much lighter in color. I think you have the correct label.

make media, pour however much you want into one of these, put in microwave until media boils + 1 minute...http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=35993

i was thinking texas or mid-america somewhere since all the current ones are on the coasts

Just the other day I finished what I think is a pretty remarkable presentation on antique complex paphs for a presentation to the Phipps Conservatory (who's trying to start a collection) in Pittsburg. I got to thinking that such a thing would be pretty well-received among the members here...

it's possible...neither of the awarded ones look like trilobum either; it's just that this one is particularly good...
