Paph. adductum x gigantifolium

[SlipperFan]

adductum ‘Dark Cloud’ x gigantifolium ‘Dark Warrior’

I got this from Sam Tsui at our show last weekend. I fell in love!

Indeed that is nice. Hopefully the flower count will increase on the next blooming.

The contrast between the near white ovary and the dark bloom, creates a very interesting and appealing visual feast!

That's a beauty!

I'm in love with it too Dot. The dark dorsal is wonderful and I just love the petal stance. I'm surprised how much I love these gigantifolium crosses. I could never have imagined it would make a good parent. The hybrids with rothschidianum, sanderianum and now anitum are fantastic. The overlapping circular petal stance is really pleasing on the eye.

Wow! Nice flowers in every way!

Do you have a picture of the whole plant? It would be interesting what the leafspan is since gig primary hybrids sometimes are pretty small (sandie x gig for example). Very intersting that the ovary is perfectly white. I would not have expected that.

WooHoo, that's nice!

That is one great plant you have there! I love the overlap in the petals and the rich color. I'm waiting with baited breath to see how my gig x kolo turns out.

Stunning!

Wow Dot nice pickup! The color scheme is real eye candy. Is the the plant a single growth?

PS. The is the kind of cross I'd like to be named after me!

I agree. I love what gigantifolium does to petals.

No, but the leaves are huge: 15" long and 2" wide. The spike is 23" to the first flower. The ovaries aren't white, but a pale yellow -- the lightness is also a characteristic of gigantifolium.

Yes -- one growth. I don't see a sign of a new growth yet. Maybe I should cut the spike -- but I just hate to do that.
