I don't think any tigrinim is "ordinary"! But I cant believe I'm attracted to the Lippewunder.

I love Lipperwunder!

I would say all your blooms look pretty unique! The colors are great. Do you know what the crosses/parents are for paph 4 and 5?

Do you know what the crosses/parents are for paph 4 and 5?

P. Schloss Sanssouci is registereed: http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticulturaldatabase/orchidregister/orchiddetails.asp?ID=143373

For the other one the breeder told me that he didn't have the name for one parent.

No 4 & 5 are very similar!!

No, they aren't, if you see them side by side.
The "nipple" on the staminode is different, the backshield of the shoe too, the yellow color of J.Jäger is more intensive, .....

I don't think any tigrinim is "ordinary"!

Of course not! That was a joke.
The tigrinum is the queen of my shoes.
