I really like this. Beautiful!
a 60 yo division of the awarded plant? wow. I understand it wasnt a great grower.
I've found that it is a good grower, just a shy bloomer. Because of that, I sold this one while in bloom. I still have a comparably sized division and two small single growth divisions.
Only one is listed, with Paph Maudiae as the pollen parent. It was made by Norris Powell and registered in 1991. It might be interesting to try a Brachy onto it, either thaianum or one of the darker not leucochilums.Maybe another one for Barbie
Interesting that P. Madam Martinet did breed on! Do you know if P. Darling has any progenies?
Yes that might be interesting to get the shape more full and round. But I think there are better ways to get good pink Paphs than delenatii x barabata-group crosses. Don't you think so?
It's not something I've tried mainly because the plant's shy blooming characteristic (for me, at least) has discouraged me from using it for breeding.
I had a Madame Martinet cross from Hadley but it struggled and didn’t make it. It would have been nice according to the photos, Paph Darling 'Genevieve' AM/AOS, RHS (Madame Martinet x laurencianum)

I wonder if Maudiae x vietnamense might give a similar result. Pretty sure all my maudiae are triploids, so I can't do it.
