[ohio-guy]

I'm not telling who is right until we see the flowers open. :drool:
There can be more than one person right in this guessing game!

I will give you a hint. The one pictured on the beautiful Orchids of Los Osos website is not the same plant. :evil:

Keep guessing and giving your reasons.

Oh dude - that's not cool! So we don't know if we've gotten the right answer yet? I thought you said this would be fast!

Geez! :rollhappy:

 

[ohio-guy]

how far is the flower from opening? A glimpse of petal would be helpful

It is open sitting in fromnt of me right now! Guess for a while then I'll put up another picture. I like hearing the reasons, they should help everyone learn.

I like to take my time. :rollhappy:

Ok, I am going to guess that one of the parents is sanderianum.

Two reasons:
1. the pedicel is appears white, a trait sanderianum tends to bring
2. the shape of the dorsal is long and slender like sanderianum

 

[gonewild]

OK, next clue...

 

[PHRAG]

I hope the prize is a puppy!

Could it be a Prince Edward Of York? I wish that mine bloomed out that way. I agree with kentuckiense about the sanderianum influence.

I have a Stoned Susan :rollhappy: in spike and have been waiting to take photos and post it. This would be Susan Booth x stonei (sorry about the spelling) This is also a possibility. (I think)

Thanks for the photos!

 

[dustywoman]

I like Heather's guess!

 

[kentuckiense]

Ok, so my final guess is, like Heather, Michael Koopowitz in this form: sanderianum x phil. var. roeb.

 

[Per]

adductum x sand.
or
anitum x sand.

The darkness of the petals makes me think the (adductum or anitum) and the length of the petals/white pendicle (thanks Zach!) makes me think the second.

 

[gonewild]

OK now multiple choice...

Is it:

A. sanderianum x philippinense
B. philippinense var. robelinii x sanderianum
C. sanderianum x adductum
D. Michael Koopowitz x sanderianum

 

[Marco]

its b....is that a flower opening up at the base of the spike or is that a totally different spike on a different growth?
