My Second Pink Sky

[Happypaphy7]

Just opening up, but it has a spacing issue so I thought I would get a shot before the second flower gets in the way.

I am super excited about this result as my first one was quite ugly last summer.
This plant was bought as a medium sized seedling about three years ago.
Unlike my other Pink Sky, this is still a single growth plant, a slow but steady grower, and has more than doubled in size over the years. Still, it is smaller than the other two, especially the width of the leaves are narrower.
The leaves arch over and droopy, though. Oh, well...

The first picture is from late January. The sight that made me very excited but anxious as the outcome can be horrible. lol

This one and the other Pink Sky only took one month to go from low spike to open bloom. Speedy development! I'd say the fastest among any paphs I've seen.

A bit smaller than my other one, but the shape and color is much much better! :smitten:

I want to put roth pollen on this.
Or anyone who happens to have a nice Lady Rothschild laying around, I accept pollen. hehehe.
Seriously, please!!!!

Looks good. Nice to see a cross like this that doesn't have hooks and horns on the lip. Seems like this one's a keeper.

Thank you.
I think I'm having quite a bit of luck with this cross.
My third Pink Sky is showing low spike now.
My first one that gave me ugly flowers last year is also showing signs, again.

Delrosi and Dollgoldi are pushing more sheaths, but they have done this to me for two years now.

I am yet to see any of my Gloria Naugle, Harold Koppowitz, Rolfei and other such crosses to spike.
