Very handsome flowers and foliage. 'Nikki Lynn' has had 2 CCMs as well as the AM from 20 years ago. It must be a good grower.

It is doing well for me. It is interesting that I can't find another example of this cross on the web.

OrchidWiz has 2 photos identified as Paph. Constance 'Nicky Lynn' (sic) and 4 other photos. 1 or 2 of the other pics look like they could also be 'Nicki Lynn' but the others are clearly another clone or clones with longer petals with a second twist, but otherwise similar. There is only 1 other awarded clone, 'Warwick' HCC/AOS 77pts 1999, but it is not pictured.

A cross like this could have had few seedlings produced or very few that were good enough to ever show or propagate. Divisions of 'Nikki Lynn' could account for most of the plants that are even around to photograph.

I really like this one. Good colour, characterful form and beautiful leaves.

How often does this bloom?
I once had a few of (barbarta x multi) mainly for leaves, but then I said bye to them all one day.
lol

When the new growth matures, usually about 2 years.

Thanks, everyone!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!! If I had the right climate, I would grow all these uncommon barbata x multi hybrids, especially those with superbien / curtisii as a parent.
