Michi, I guess Paph. Duane Erdmann (urbanianum x bellatulum) isn't a common hybrid.

 

[michi]

urbanium x bellatulum

yes fibre your right, i should whrite urbanium x bellatulum and not
Duane Erdmann.

but that it is a uncommon hybrid is also my problem because i cant find another plant of these cross

 

[michi]

as answer of a PM request a picture of the last flower

the picture is a bit pressed because i have to change the quality

Well, I have never heard of that cross, and seeing the picture it seem obvious why that is. I very much doubt that something like that would sell in Europe, and certainly not as a flowering plant. I would try Glanz, but other than him I can't think of anyone... who would even attemt such a crossing.
On a private thought: I'd consider it a waste of time and money, as well as bellatulum pollen, crossing these 2 species. But that's really just my opinion....

This was my plant. JB is right, Franz Glanz has remade the cross, this was one of the last of the batch he had for sale 2 years ago. It died after flowering, and it looked as if it had taken ages to reach that stage (flowering, not dieing). It was rather dramatic in real life and I don't consider it a waste of resources. In fact, I tried to remake it but without luck.

Kinda pretty in homely sort of way! The barbatum type X with the brachys as a general rule have a tough go at it. I generally stay away from unbloomed plants with this mix.

Saying this is a waste of resources is pretty harsh... the picture michi posted is just not that flattering for the flower, but on Carsten's picture it looks very nice, IMHO.

BTW, Carsten, if you had not said that it's Duane Erdmann, I would have guessed this as a primulinum or glaucophyllum hybrid. The colour of the pouch and dorsal and the shape of the staminode remind me a lot of primulinum or glaucophyllum.

Yeah, cochlos x brachys give this same sort of effect.
