Super nice. What is the cross? Charlesworthii x maudiae type?

 

[paphioland]

Very nice form for the type. Looks a little small but great flower.

 

[Trithor]

Congratulations Jim! That bloom certainly deserves recognition.

Orchilla `Chilton' x Maudiae`petronella' sadly the `Petronella' no longer exists.--It was a very dark Vini.

I was lucky enough to see this in the flesh.
The darkest mulberry colour, almost black in the centre. Great shape. At least the size of Orchilla "Chilton".
The back was very clean without synsepal furling.
A marvelous flower.
I begged Jim to remake the cross but 'Petronella' is dead and he tells me remakes with other Maudiaes have been disappointing.........very sad.

Congratulations, Jim! This is really a great flower! A wonderful shape for a hybrid with Maudiae as a parent. I wouldn't worry about size. IMO the flower seems to be in a good relation to the size of the leaves.
