Addicted Philip 2011

[goldenrose]

A 2nd time blooming for me, not getting better, now can I prevent the slight curl in the dorsal? Culture?Water?

This was the first blooming 2 years ago - http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11167

I like it. Hope the curling goes away next time.

i've seen some growers make little 'braces' from q-tips to keep things flat...

Love it! Is anitum in the background?

 

[Wendy]

The colour is outstanding! :clap:

oke:what would make you think that?
Adductum v.anitum x phili.

May not be the "ideal" but the dorsal is wicked. It's the diversity & uniqueness of paph seedlings that draw me in...so I like it!

I know that armeniacum curls a bit when there is low humidity, but I would assume that you don't have a problem with that... But if so, that may be the problem.
Very nice bloom, otherwise!

I agree here. That changes the grex name to something something (...my memory fails here) Apple. ??? It's been mentioned here before...

 

[Ernie]

Yang-Ji Apple.

AHHH - guess I should change the tag, haven't been paying attention!
hmmm ... then my Peppermint (niv x anitum) is ????
and Bel Royal x anitum = ???
and Hsinying Lady Duck (Lady Isabel x anitum) is ????

Humidity - it's a possibility, it is at the front of the GH by the door ....
to late to move it's neighbor Stairway To Heaven, it's about to pop!

I like the blooms as they are (that mini curl doesn't upset me ) and a very nice coloration!!! Jean

Hsinying Lady Duck (Lady Isabel x anitum). Rose, I think this stays the same because it was made originally with anitum.

Higher humidity might help

ahhhh - then the names might not change on my other anitum X's. The tags say adductum but have clonal names of 'Black Top' & 'Dark Cloud', which is actually indicating that anitum was used.

Interesting that dark flowers draw so much attention. I guess we just don't like muddy ones? The dorsal really is wonderful in spite of the slight curling - something that doesn't bother me so much.
