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...

Wow it's been a long time since I wrote a post, but since this is my cross, I thought I'd chime in about the goals of breeding with Galeandra greenwoodiana. I made this cross in 2022, so the first impressive part of this cross is that it is already blooming, with lots of flowers. My...

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...

Frederick Charles Puddle – lacking abilities as a tradesman, he was a grower, a lesser profession, from a young age, had a greenhouse by age 15 in which he grew champion mums; trained with Veitch; head grower at Scampston Hall for St. Quintin before moving to Bodnant in 1920 and growing for...

naoki, R. camtschaticum or the closely related R. glandulosum would work fine for you. Although I've never lived in such a cold climate, reports indicate -50 F without trouble...

Paph. Rod McClellan is Sheerline x Golden Acres, a nice yellow-green from notable parents. It was first registered by McClellans, which operated as an orchid nursery in the San Francisco Bay Area, in the 1970s; the grex was more recently remade by Hillsview in the early 2000s. Your clone...

Winston's Ruby - this is excellent color and pretty good form...nicely done!

Maybe best bet is a Ratcliffe registration, or at least English registration...EYOF did some of this breeding and it might be from Ratcliffe from them...like Robin de Valec. Got a time frame for this? When your friend got it, etc...

Pretty sure it's delenatii x complex; the two most common are Rootin Tootin (x Winston Churchill) and Tree of Flamingo (x Mildred Hunter). More info on where the pictured plant came from geographically might help with ID.
