Memoria Miguel Medina x Paul Parks

[ehanes7612]

I scored with this one..taking it to the final seattle judging on saturday..definitely HCC , maybe low AM

 

[ehanes7612]

Mem Miguel Medina is Lady Isabel x wilhelminae

the color is probably the best I have ever seen on a multifloral and then there's that dorsal...my first multi complex that I consider worthy to keep

I will shoot a better image by the end of the week

 

[Secundino]

wow!

Ed that is amazing! Best of luck at the judging. I agree....it will do well.

 

[gego]

I agree. Very nice form and color of the DS. Dont think the first flower has matured yet, spacing might get better. Goodluck.

i dont know but I suspect it was an hawaiian grower

 

[ehanes7612]

Paphiopedilum QF Kulani ...maybe the QF is a clue as to the breeder, can't imagine more than one breeder making this..Quintal Farms?

Gotta be

that is very nice

Thats a stunning bloom congrats

Impressive, but my advice: wait until the next bloom to have it judged. You know the quality is there, so baby it, rebloom it with more and bigger flowers, and stake it to perfection. No sense risking an hcc on a plant that deserves more.

It's the last meeting of the Seattle judging, so I will be taking it for nostalgia c reasons...and even if it gets an HCC award now...doesn't mean that the award cant be upgraded...it's happened quite a bit with awarded plants..I dont see how waiting till the next bloom matters

 

[tnyr5]

Ah, well, that's different.
While it is true that awards can be upgraded, it's damn hard. Much harder than getting it awarded in the first place, if you ask me.

So if it is awarded, it can't be awarded on the next blooming? But can be upgraded?

an upgrade is like a new award..the old award would still stand also as a matter of record...I have seen this happen quite a bit with roths

 

[ehanes7612]

Got an 80 point AM. Will post award photo when I receive it

 

[AdamD]

:clap: Nice! I thought it’d be higher for sure.

 

[bigleaf]

Congratulations.

In my experience, trying to upgrade a low AM to higher point AM is harder. Even though AM is AM - but some will ask if it's high AM or low AM.

looking forward to the photos
