charlesworthii

[labskaus]

This little guy is always a few weeks ahead of its mates. Smallish flower with a pinkish, not plain white, staminode. Very cute.

Charles looks like his hat's too big, but he's beautiful anyway.

I like this one a lot !!!! Jean

I like the patternation on it... Color and form as well.

Thanks, all!

The dorsal is 5 cm across, the whole flower barely 6 cm wide. I like it for its natural, wild-type style, but I like the chunky line-bred charlies just as much.

 

[SlipperKing]

Huge me baby!!!

The second flower of that small guy is open now, just in time for a comparison shot with another charlie, which is from US breeding. Its parents are something like 'Half-and-half'x 'Jumbo' and it is certainly not up to its full potential on this small plant yet.

 

[SlipperKing]

Must be OrchidInn breeding then. Nice pair of cousins Carsten.

 

[Trithor]

Lovely!

I like the webbed dorsal of the smaller one and the broader petals of the OrchidIn-cross!

 

[NYEric]

Are you sure the first one was not a hybrid?
