Paph. Clinkaberryanum

[SlipperFan]

(curtisii x philippinense) I love the name, but it's the flower that attracted me to it.

Nice. I like the wide but hanging petals. Funky name too!

 

[abax]

What a great musical name! The plant ain't bad either.

 

[JeanLux]

The plant looks rather compact, very nice large flower !!!! Jean

 

[nathalie]

Very beautiful plant !

 

[wjs2nd]

Amazing color! I agree with Jean, the plant looks compact. How big is it?

 

[Ross]

Nice flower. Do you know if this is a division or a seedling?

named after H.T. Clinkaberry (his wife, actually), head grower for Charles G. Roebling, whose company built the Brooklyn Bridge, and whose collection of orchids was considered the finest in the US at the time of his death in 1918. Lc. C.G. Roebling, a fine wcl coerulea, bears the name...

A little bit surprising at the first approach(it's me), but I do agree it is very nice. What are the flowers size?

I'll have to do some measuring tomorrow.

I thought it was a seedling, but I'll check it more closely tomorrow to see if I can tell for sure. I don't remember seeing that it has bloomed before, but I'll look again.

That is sweet Dot! It must be bread from newer bread parents. Much better then most of the older clones of this cross.

 

[Ozpaph]

very nice big flower.

 

[biothanasis]

it almost sounds and seems like a normal species!! Great flower!

@Ross: It's blooming on the only mature growth and there is no evidence of any older growths. There are two young growths, also, one on either side of the mature one. So I'd say it's a seedling.

@wjs2nd & Brabantia: The flower is 5" (12.7 cm) from tip of dorsal to tips of petals. The NS is 4" (10.16 cm). The longest leaf is 6" (15.24cm) and the widest one is 1" (2.54 cm).

No wonder...

That dorsal is awesome.

Very nice Dot. There doesn't seem much mottling in the leaves.
