Paph Anne Boleyn ‘Spotted Rose’ HCC/AOS (Blockbuster x White Queen)

[CharlesD]

This is now fully open. First bloom seedling I got early this year from Teresa Hill. Cool cross. I’m really pleased with the heavy spotting and decent form. The red color is also surprising dark. NS is 10.5 cm PW 4.3cm so I think it has really good potential once grown up. I may take it judging for fun but I think the best I could hope for right now would an HCC. I haven’t gotten an award in a while so might at least give it a try. My long term goal is to make some spotted white hybrids with large spots - this might be a bit too pink/red but it’s definitely a keeper!

There are plenty of clonal names that I was thinking of but I'm not sure it would be 100% in good taste even 500 years on. Though I probably won't leave her head on for too long

Love it! Very striking colors & patterns. What does PW mean?

Thank you! Petal width - modern standard would be closer 6cm for very good complex hybrids so this guy is a little narrow but I think it’s form is still pleasing

Will it last longer than Anne of Cleves?

Thank you. My knowledge of form is lacking, I find this bloom more than pleasing!
