Awarded a year ago in October at the Eastern Iowa Orchid Society Show. As usual, I forgot to take a picture prior to the show. Here is this year's bloom.

I can't remember exactly. I think it was a low 80's. I will look it up when I get home from Omaha.

Well grown!

Thank you! Unfortunately, the awarded flower from the plant was damaged in transit from the show. The display plants were packed in a covered tub, hauled in and out of the van due an overnight stop and cold weather. That's why I always try and many times fail to take pictures BEFORE bringing...

Just awarded in Kansas City at the GKCOS Orchid Show last weekend. This is a picture of last year's bloom as I forgot to take one before heading to Kansas City

Just from the pictures, the one on the right looks to have wider petals and a stockier look. It would be my choice for breeding hybrids.

It's not something I've tried mainly because the plant's shy blooming characteristic (for me, at least) has discouraged me from using it for breeding.

Only one is listed, with Paph Maudiae as the pollen parent. It was made by Norris Powell and registered in 1991. It might be interesting to try a Brachy onto it, either thaianum or one of the darker not leucochilums.

I've found that it is a good grower, just a shy bloomer. Because of that, I sold this one while in bloom. I still have a comparably sized division and two small single growth divisions.

Registered in 1960 by Vacherot & Lecoufle, the flower was awarded in the U.S. in 1983. Madame Martinet is (callosum X delenatii)

First of the F2 generation cross that I kept. The other two are in spike. This blooming is lighter than previous bloomings.

Love it! Do you think that the genetics from godefroyae helped create the finer spots?

They are beautiful flowers. It's obvious you are growing barbigerum as well as it can be grown. I also have the issue with the nearest judging center being distant. Some judges may live near you that would be willing to bring your plant with them.

All are sold

Very interesting that the reciprocal's difference in shape of the flowers (most notably the petals), carries through consistently on both. I like both shapes, but have a fondness for the rounded petals on yours. I have bloomed (thaianum X vietnamense) and just got flasks of the reciprocal back...

Division #2 sold.

I asked Julie to make a few cuttings of Bulbophyllums, and the next thing I know, she's hacking apart the Bulbophyllum purpureorhachis! We have 5 divisions, all with a lead growth. Because of the larger size, we will ship bare root with a bit of moist moss. We have grown and bloomed it...

Hopefully the dark red color and small size can be maintained going forward. Regardless, it's a good first step in producing "mini vini's"

I still use it. Just not as often and only when I anticipate a problem.

Feel free to contact me. I have some leucochilums from Sam Tsui flasks that are well established as well as some other "odds and ends". I also recommend David at Paph Paradise and Rob at Little Frog. They are both upstanding and reliable.
