Guess the primary cross

[Ron-NY]

One parent is easy to guess.

 

[Heather]

You're right, it is. I'll refrain though cause I've no clue on the other parent!

Hey, where's Tadd? I haven't seen him around in ages!

 

[Ron-NY]

school has restarted....open houses, ect I am sure are keeping him busy. He would be interested in seeing this one. I will have to PM it to him if he doesn't show up in this thread.

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

I'd guess fairrieanum x urbanianum

[Ron-NY]

Jon you have one parent correct. The other parent is not obvious. It is a cross that is not seen frequently and I can understand why from seeing the flower.

 

[ohio-guy]

Paphiopedilum fairrieanum x venustum?

 

[Ron-NY]

If I didn't know what it was, that would have been one of my guesses but NO.

 

[Ron-NY]

I am questioning if the plant was labeled correctly. Someone on another forum sent me a pic of the cross that this is suppose to be and it sure looks different than this flower.

I purchased it as Paph Unique (roth x fairrieanum)

Hard to believe! I see it listed on Orchids of Los Osos site. What do you think, Lance?

 

[goldenrose]

What do the leaves look like? I don't see any roth in the flower but I guess a certain % would take strictly after the fair. parent & this is one! (if it's labeled correctly)

 

[littlefrog]

I'm not Lance, but that ain't roth x fairrieanum, either. Something in the barbatum group (lawrencianum?) x fairrieanum is my guess.

 

[NYEric]

Phrag besseae!

 

[Mrs. Paph]

Interesting, I guess I don't see roth...my guess was going to be wardii, not having seen the leaves

 

[WolfDog1 (C. Williams)]

and mine was fowlei

 

[paphioboy]

i guess fairrieanum x wardii... =)

 

[Roy]

My guess would be P. Papa Rohl = Fairrieanum x sukhakulii.

 

[British Bulldog]

I'm going for P.fairrianum x p. fowlei!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??
Paul

 

[Sangii]

I would also have guessed fairi x wardii, possibly x sukh...
