Yes, very very nice!

Surprising dorsal form for this cross. Paul and mine have round dorsal and this one is really opposite with flame form! But there's always those dark irregular lines in dorsal. All the plants from this cross have this characteristic.

yes, difficult to see total picture.

30cms approximately.

Again in bloom.

An old plant I bought last year to an other old collector. Wild form, small size, light color. An original one, I'm happy with it.

A plant I bought some years ago as Kimballianum. It's a nice bloom but I'm disappointed because I would like a lot Kimballianum. I like this difficult to find natural hybrid. Try again Fabrice... :poke:

A plant I bought in spike some months ago to Ratcliffe.

A good one with no name. I'm not a fanatic of this kind of paphs but tonsum (and particularly this one) have a particular charm in my taste. Probably the mix of pink/green color.

2nd bloom for the 1st seedling blooming (in 2012) from "TN-Queen x TN-Tiger". I gave it this name because it's very similar to the TN-Queen. Almost 30cms, 5.5cms dorsal. Probably my favorite from this cross. As an idiot, I broke the 2 other buds...:mad:

You can't judge this plant just comparing with another sanderianum. And more, there are highland and lowland sanderianum, what are very differents. And even crosses between the 2 forms. I think this one is true but you're maybe right, it could have too philippinense in it. Not possible to be...

More and more, MK x sanderianum are sold like sanderianum. Why? The interest of this cross is to sell sanderianums with larger dorsal, even if the philippinense influence reduce a little the petals lenght. But for me, this bloom is a pure sanderianum. About lateral petals what start...

In my opinion, it's a bad thing. I already grew seedlings like that, with several news growths. They always stay small, difficult to grow and several months later, they die. A normal seedling will grow with 1 growth, exceptionally 2. But many new growths on a not mature multi floral growth is...

Nice! And fragrant. The right name is Oeoniella polystachys

Nice. A ******* specie to keep in life for a long time...

Yes, Very very nice! Do you grow it in sphagnum?

Rex?

In fact, Sam's Choice is really Rex x MM. Sam confirmed it to me just now. :-)

I found a 2007 listing when this cross was available in flask and Sam wrote "Val x MM". But I just asked him to be sure. I will tell you more soon.

Yes you're right. I was sure to see Rex in it but it's not! Sorry for this mistake. I showed the picture yesterday to Sam. He replied me: "That is very good for a first bloom seedlings! If it is mine. I would keep growing. It will be SM or AM in the next bloom with 4 flowers. "
