[likespaphs]

[SlipperKing]

Holly crap! Find the label! Someone posted recently a very similar flower

 

[Scott Ware]

Awesome photos, Brian. I am so happy you are posting these for everyone to see.

The flower in this photo is Paph. Franz Glanz (emersonii x armeniacum)

(And yes it's a REAL Paph. Franz Glanz)

Lovely! :drool::drool::drool:

Are you sure, Scott? I'm fairly sure it was a real Paph. Sugar Suite (emersonii X niveum)?

Think that was the cross I'm remembering Ernie.

Ok that's it - you guys are right. I'm not posting before noon anymore in order to give the morning caffeine time to kick in.

I remember now that someone did say it was Paph. Sugar Suite while remarking how much the yellow pouch and staminode reminded them of Paph. armeniacum, and that's what I was thinking of when I posted.

The weekend was such a blur for me - so much going on with so many great plants and wonderful people.

Can you show us a photo of the plant itself?

I've been looking at photos of both Paph. Sugar Suite (http://www.slipperorchids.info/paphprimaries/PaphSugarSuite3.jpg) and Paph. Franz Glanz (http://www.slipperorchids.info/paphprimaries/PaphFranzGlanz2.jpg) and don't think one could judge simply by the photo. There is a lot of variation iwthin the crosses.

I would have said Franz Glanz. But for a better look I would appreciate seeing the plant in NYC. Did anyone fall for that?

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

I also remember it as Paph. Sugar Suite (emersonii X niveum).

 

[Brian Monk]

YEs, it was Sugar Suite. I was part of the conversation about how much yellow was in the staminode. I did not get a photo of the entire plant - afterall, I knew its name!!

 

[JeanLux]

That's really a great outcome for those 2 species!!!! Jean

 

[Potterychef]

Agreed, Sugar Suite. Doug

 

[SlipperFan]

Sugar Sweet, for sure!

 

[Scott Ware]

Sugar Sweet, for sure!

That's hilarious, Dot. I can't believe we all went so far into this thread with "Suite". It's Ernie's fault, you know.

 

[SlipperFan]

Actually, Ernie's spelling is correct. I was just trying to make a pun.

Yeah, I'll take credit for doing something right for a change.

Oddly enough, Orchidwiz actually lists a Paph. Sugar Sweet. Clicking on the long format button to the right of the parentage window produces a different result every time. Strange. I would post a screen capture here but I am terrified of copyright violation repercussions.

I looked this up on the RHS site. Although it does list Paph. Sugar Sweet, it has no information about it, except that it was registered 3/16/1993. Registrant Name and Originator Name say O/U. Seed and Pollen parent say "na" and Epithet has a ? in the blanks. Very strange.
