New Spotted Seedling

[jimspaphs]

I used Magnetic North 'Lucky Strike' and mated it to another good spotted Hoopla x New Edition '2336'.

A bit wonky but worth another flowering.

Great spots. That would go well in Germany.

Many modern complex Paphs, including this one, are any where from six to ten or more generations removed from the original species. The species most used in the early generation crosses were insigne, villosum, boxallii, spicerianum, with some bellatulum. Also, some of the old hybrids used are registered with the parents as unknown. Throw in the fact that most of these hybrids are polyploids, it's no wonder that one doesn't recognize any particular species.

Nice first bloom, Jim. I look forward to seeing if it improves as the plant matures.

It is amazing that these complex paphs have been bred so long that they show little or no resemblance to Paph species.
And indeed nice bloom!
