Guess this Multifloral Cutie

[Ross]

I just bought this plant in bloom. I normally avoid multiflorals because of the large size, but I just had to have this little cutie. This is a primary hybrid crossed with a species. It is growing in a 3 1/2 inch pot with a 13 inch leaf span.

I have some ideas, but no direct guess. I see sanderianum in there, and with it being small it’s hard to imagine a wilhelminiae type isn’t another element. Really nice though—I’ll be interested to see what it is because I too like multiflorals but am lacking in space.

Yellow Tiger crossed with sanderianum?
Very nice!

Could it be small possibly because it has a cochlo in its parentage (although I don't see any cochlo in the flower.. ). My guess is Honey (primulinum x philippinense) x sanderianum...

Boy is it ever pretty!!! :drool: And the small size is a big ++++, in my book.

Could it possibly be Prince Edward of York crossed with philippinense??

Just a guess!

 

[rdlsreno]

Nice! Could it be Paph Michael Koopowits x primulinum.

As if I'd have a clue what it is...:rollhappy:

But just wanted to say how cute it is! :clap:

My guess, Oberhausen's Diament x primulinum

My guess is paph. Spiderman (Paph. Michael Koopowitz x adductum).

That's exactly it! The cross was made by Wharton Sinkler of Castle Rock Orchids. A friend has one of his Paph Honey's and it is a vigorous, but very petite plant

I do not see one ounce of cochlo in it. I guess if the tag says it then it must be so but I'm not too sure about that.

I see it in the coloration, a bit of the pouch and some waviness added to the leaves.

Eric, I think the prim is not evident because its just the one of the grandparents... The influence of both sand and phil must be stronger I suppose...

 

[SlipperKing]

I agree with Candace, the overall coloring is subdued by the prim giving a nice pastel blending and the staminode has prim all over it!

Yep, the stam and the wavey leaves say it all Nice!
