Paph. barbatum x henryanum

[SlipperFan]

Purchased from Sam of Orchid Inn at GVOS this past weekend. No registered name yet that I could find.

 

[John M]

Hey! That is NICE!

 

[Roy]

Not a cross I would necessarily buy but that flower is very nice Dot.

Really a very nice hybrid.
Perhaps interesting for breeding Teacup-Paphs.

Best greetings

Olaf

 

[Ross]

Quite nice! What is the leaf span?

 

[P-chan]

How cool! I'm growing some flasklings from Sam- He has some awesome plants. That bloom is really sweet!

 

[SlipperFan]

Quite nice! What is the leaf span?

Leaf span in 9" -- it's still a small plant. The ns of the flower is 3".

That is a nice flower from this cross. Did you get to see more of this cross while at the show Dot? If so, how uniform are the flowers?

 

[paphioboy]

I like it very much too.. Barbatum is one of my favourite species..

 

[rdlsreno]

Very nice and excellent photo as usual!

I was probably the first person at Sam's booth while he was setting up to sell. He had two of these, and I selected the best one (I think). He did say he has more at his greenhouse, not yet in bud, though.

That is a beautiful hybrid Dot. I like it a lot. Stunning combination of colours. If you asked me to guess the parents, the henryanum would have been easy but it would have taken me a lot of guesses for the barbatum.

Very nice flower, Dot!

Is it barbatum or barbigerum? Like David, I don't see much barbatum in there.

Cheers, Carsten

Yes, barbigerum would have been my first guess.

barbigerum X heneryanium (Tyke) I don't recall seeing any big spots on the dorsals. This would be the first for me and I saw quite a few, 1-2 dozen of them. Here is one I posted last year.

Agreed, your Tyke also has a different staminode.

So, where's the white staminode from in Dot's plant? Any tesselation in the leaves? Are they much broader than in henryanum?

Doll's Kobold???

Just scratching my head.

It's a beautiful flower, though, and one I've definitly bought as well.

Cheers, Carsten

 

[Elena]

My first thought was Doll's Kobold too.

It's a cutie though!

 

[Ernie]

Yeah, I'm seeing barbigerum x henry too. Love it! Will see Sam this weekend in Madison (Brrrr). Might need to get one.
