(fed up with the 'Gorgeous' 'Somptuous' 'Wowzebest' clonal names. Let's be original)

Pure cuteness.

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice and very tiny!

 

[Ernie]

Nice. And creative clonal names.

The more I see this species in bloom, the more I like it. These have nice color and are very cute!

At first i didn't like that green cockroach staminodal shield but now I really want a couple. Thanx for posting.

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

Looks like they are growing on all of us. Thanks for posting!

Summed up nicely.

I sort of see this like tranlienianum- a super cool species that I would certainly self or sib or outcross way before I made a hybrid.

I think it could be a good thing for making compact and mini hybrids with beautiful leaves, but it's flowers wouldn't do much IMO.

Any of you see any potential for this as a hybrid parent?

Maybe onto thaianum, niveum, some of the section Barbata species???

What would you want to see this on? Other than your bench- that's obvious. I'm talking hybrids here.

Well, these look much nicer than the others posted here... These are actually pleasant to the eye. Hooray for selective breeding.

I'm thinking concolor: keeps the pink color but rounds out the flower a bit. A long shot would be sanderianum: think long candy-stripe petals with a well contrasting dorsal. But... its late in the day here and I've just come up from the xylol/ethanol fume filled histology lab.

Already done the cross with roth. "MM" ?

Took the words right out of my mouth!

 

[W. Beetus]

Oh wow! These blooms are much nicer than the previous ones I have seen.

 

[paphioboy]

Love the clonal names.. Cute plants you have there. Are these grown from seed or...?

 

[Jorch]

Cute!! Can't wait for this species to be propagated and commercially available!

 

[poozcard]

does it require cool climate to grow or bloom?

very nice looking flower.

Looking forward to see propagated plants of this species available in europe. Allthough I think that the first years the prices will be out of my budget.

Or should see if I can import a flask myself. Anyone seen flasks of this species available?

Hmmmmmm................
