Dellaina, and two bellatulum hybrids

[littlefrog]

Paph. Dellaina - (delenatii x glaucophyllum)

Paph. (Wellesleyanum x S. Gratrix) - double shot of bellatulum

And last, one I took at a show of something I would have never made... (I'm not entirely convinced it is really true)
Paph. Madeline - bellatulum x argus

 

[SlipperFan]

Love the pouch on Madeline! Why do you think it's not true?

 

[littlefrog]

x argus? Argus? A species only a mother could love. Bellatulum helped this cross out a lot. I really like it though (wish it were mine).

 

[likespaphs]

where was the show?

 

[Candace]

The Madeline in my favorite, too! I've never seen that cross either.

 

[littlefrog]

where was the show?

Fort Wayne, IN.

hot damn! that's my hometown!
i saw the three rivers and figured there are lots of three rivers, but...
neato! how was it?

 

[littlefrog]

The show? You didn't go? oke:

It is a nice show. Small. Quiet. No big crowds. Hard when you are selling plants, but I sold enough to pay my expenses which is all I try to do anyway. There were some really nice plants there this year, including a sobralia that smelled just like chocolate (and it was even open for judging!).

yeh. i didn't know about it. otherwise, would have been a great reason to visit the folks...
do you know if there's a website? i searched but couldn't find one...

I doubt there is a website... They aren't really all that organized. Nice, but not organized. PM me and I'll get you an e-mail address of one of them.

I like the Dellaina.

What do you feel is wrong with the Paph. Madeline - bellatulum x argus?

 

[littlefrog]

I'm just having cognitive dissonance over how it could possibly be an argus cross. It is absolutely lovely, and I like it a lot.

 

[Rick Barry]

Just for the record, that Brachy has a double shot of godefroye, not bellatulum.

Regards,
Rick

 

[littlefrog]

You are entirely right... Got my brachys mixed up.

[Bolero]

Love the photos, thanks for sharing.

delenatii x glaucophyllum = Paph Kovachii

uh oh! I feel the curse crossing genera!!!! oke: oke:

 

[DukeBoxer]

Maybe I'll buy one of those and pretend it's a kovachii, it really does look kind of like it, or am I totally wrong???
