You got it!

The cross was Paph. W.R. Lee x Paph. Fumimasa Sugiyama. So the 4 parents were:

Paph. rothschildianum
Paph. superbiens
Paph. platyphyllum
Paph. sanderianum

Are there more plants in bud? I would love to see if the sanderianum influence will manifest more forcefully in other plants.

Not yet, but now that the flower has matured the petals have started to droop more, and you can see more of a sanderianum influence. I will post a picture later.

Hold your horses......

Here they are: It is funny that the sanderianum genes don't really show up until a few days after the flower has opened; the petals start to droop down, and the dorsal reflexes backwards. I think the flower looks better in person than in the picture.

I like the side view.

Hmm... the dorsal looks better now but the droopy petals and strong spotting just don't gel :-( Still, very interesting and surely very appealing. Would be very interesting to see if any of the other clones have the strong reflexed dorsal AND the horizontal spotted petals.

Excellent breeding!
