helenae X Pacific Shamrock

[SlipperFan]

helenae x Pacific Shamrock has been named Paph In-Charm Topaz. Here are blooms from three I picked up last year.

All three are yummy -- look like butterscotch. The third one looks special: shape, color and delicate markings. I'd even consider that one for my collection, and the round complexes are not my favorites.

They're great! I love the coloring. Very subtle.

Even the roundest flower has some reflexing at the bottom of the dorsal. Helenae seems to dominate the shape in these crosses, just like barbigerum does. It will take several generations of breeding to improve the shape.
