Paph callosum ('Perfectio' x 'Ninth')

[Ross]

In bloom, again with the stem still crooked, but better than last blooming.

 

[Shiva]

I like the foliage more.

crooked stem is very characteristic of "viniferum" or whatever you want to call them - clearly in the parentage of this one...very nice color

Dang, who cares about the stem with such an awesome red flower. Huge petal elements too.

Striking patterning on the foliage.

All around excellent plant Ross:clap::clap::clap:

 

[SlipperKing]

Very,very nice Ross. It has the petal stance of sublaeve, are the flowers large?

 

[paphioboy]

YUM!! Simply gorgeous!

It has a very big dorsal. I can't remember the measurement, but it is in the size range of the larger awarded ones.

 

[SlipperFan]

I'm with Rick! :drool:

 

[toddybear]

Beautiful!

 

[W. Beetus]

I really like the coloration of the dorsal. Amazing!

 

[Ernie]

NICE! Super nice, actually. But ditch the dragonflies.

Gorgeous flower...but I don't see "viniferum" in it...I think this one gets its dark color from "Sparkling Burgundy". I may be wrong, but I believe that "viniferum" or callosum "Jac" gives warty petals, and a dorsal that isn't solidly purple.

that's right......both showed up around the same time, but they breed very differently.
