Still love this cross (Paph. armeniacum x Greyi). Nice shape but the flower is small (plant is still a baby). Sorry for the poor picture its from my phone.

:drool::drool: One of my favorites too! :clap::clap:
The only problem I have with this cross is that after they have been open a while that the color fades alot. The couple I bloomed ended up being almost an off white it color. Do you agree?
I do remember it fading, guess I'll have to pay more attention to how much next time! I'm guessing that's coming from armeniacum as other of it's hybrids fade too.
 
Very nice.
Are all of the clones in this cross have non prominent dorsal? Maybe if the dorsal is a little bigger or more vertical, it would be perfect.

Mine has a larger/taller dorsal but I don't think I'd call it perfect ....... not until I get the culture perfect! :p 'til then I'll keep trying!

Yes it does a little. This does not to much.

Nice flower Ramon. Did you get it at the WOC in Miami? I remember you and your flashlight trying to find the best one of the bunch :)
 
Here is a picture of the flower one month after I took the first picture. This a photo by Eric Hunt. It does fade
