Paph Angel Hair

[ehanes7612]

Someone at the Orchid society suggest i take it to judging.. the pale translucent coloring on the petals seems to work with the rest of the flower but i dont know..the petals are 18 plus inches ..the pouch is a bright yellow, not showing in picture though..will have five flowers when finished

That is a pretty amazing flower. Unusual colour and very tall dorsal. Great petal length as well. I think it is worth having it judged.

yeah, i havent seen any angel hairs or sanderianum hybrids with this color..so as you say , it is worth taking to the judges

Very nice.. Looks pretty large too..

 

[ehanes7612]

the plant is the size of a large roth and three growths (grows like a weed now), im guessing the flower stalk will be 30 inches from the apex

I'm not sure about the color. Could we have a picture in natural light?

Thank you! It looks much better to me now! In fact, it's gorgeous! :drool::drool::drool:

will be my first attempt at an award...they will probably say bring it back on the next flowering (i heard that happens with first time bloomers a lot)

but with its characteristics (and it grows like a weed now) seems it would be a good stud plant

I think it has potential to win. That dorsal alone is incredible!

i don't know much about the judging system, but i would certainly keep a plant like this in my collection.

If you've never been to a judging, this looks like a good time to have the experience.

Incredible blooms!!

I like it, but I kinda wish it were as pale as in the first photo -- very unusual.

Good luck with it, it is very, very nice!!! Jean

nice one. especially good for a first bloom. as a judge my comments would be that the color is nice and the flower count and presentation are pretty good but the form is the major flaw. sepals are too long and not wide enough and a little wonky (going different directions/twisting).

is 'wonky' a technical term used in judging now
