New Primary Hybrid (fowliei x henryanum)

[Drorchid]

A new primary hybrid opened up, it is a cross between Paph. fowliei and henryanum. It inherited a lot of the shape of fowliei, but the colors of henryanum. It was made by Ross Hella (aka Paphreek). I like how it turned out.

Not bad.

Hey, I like that. I really like fowlei (it's small and has a different/cool form); but, I never thought it would be of much use in breeding. However, if I'd thought about this cross beforehand and what I'd like to see come through, this is what it would be. The colours are nice and bright and since both species, especially fowlei can easily grow into multi-stemmed specimen plants, this hybrid will probably be getting some attention at shows and judings in the future. This was an inovative cross to make.....good choice!

I really like this one..

I like it too, nice colours!

It looks like a henry with the dorsal spots on fire because of the way they line up with the stripes!

 

[emydura]

Nice colours. So what are you going to call it?

That's sweet -- I'm glad I purchased a compot, but they're not anywhere near blooming size yet. I think I have a hard time growing small seedlings.

Take heart, Dot. Most of mine from the second group of flasks are still quite small, also. I have a few from the first flasks that are close to blooming, but none are showing, yet.

I like it! Is it really small?

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Looks like a keeper to me - pretty colors.

 

[SlipperKing]

This really nice. A beautiful blending of both parents. It's go to be interesting to see if this is "typical" of the cross or the one and only exception. Come up with a great name Ross. Who knows this cross could turnout to be the hightest awarded Paph cross ever!

PS I don't recommend Foul Henry EITHER!

 

[Ron-NY]

Nice! I believe, I have on of this cross from Ross as well...now really looking forward to seeing it bloom!

 

[labskaus]

Very nice, indeed. I was afraid the colours would wash out to some extend and I really like how it turned out to be.

As Ross made the cross, I will leave it up to him to name it.

The flower is about the same size as it's fowliei parent. It is pretty small, but larger than a helenae.

I agree on both points!
it's Henryfol !!!

Interesting cross!

This is a pretty decent cross considering that Paph fowliei is one of the dogs of the entire genus. Thanks to the fortuitous introduction of the amazing Paph henryanum which is quite dominant, none of the negative traits are manifested. It goes to show that odd combinations of parents need to be attempted, even if many of them are terrible.
