Itis slowly starting to open.
Bought it maybe 10 years ago, but has not treated it will for a long time. About 9 months ago i started giving it some love and now it is ready.

Any flowering clone of this cross is good!

Wonderful! So regal.

I love it, I wish that mine would make a bloom spike. I give it full sun from approx. 2:00 PM to sunset here in NJ. Still no bloom sheath.

I just acquired one of these. I am certainly not giving it direct sun. It sounds like it is a light hog, even with the armeniacum parent? Do all rothschildianum hybrids like high light regardless of the other parent?

 

[Jpari]

I give any hybrid with rothschildianum as one parent as much light as they will take. I grow my hybrids with rothschildianum as one parent outdoors in the warmer weather. None of them have turned yellow in color, however, they are a lighter shade of green.

Thanks for the input. I think I might stop drawing the shade and see if they will grow a little faster.

I have mine under LED's. During summer it will not get direct sunlight, but a lot of indirect light.
It has opened fully now. I can pots a picture tomorrow.

It has a very good form and substance, but the color is a bit too green on the photo...perhaps it will turn golden yellow when the flower develops more. Good job!
BTW, who made that cross?

 

[Roots]

Is it possible that light amounts can effect flower color? I have been in love with this hybrid ever since I was bitten by the paph. bug. I would be estatic if I ever get mine to bloom like this. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Roots]

Oh, and please do share fully opened.

Good job on flowering it but may not be a Dollgodii?

What makes you think its not?

 

[tnyr5]

It may be your indoor lights are producing too much green spectrum to render color correctly. Try a sunlight pic.

 

[Ozpaph]

post a better picture in more natural light, please

 

[DKkenn]

Here it is in natural sun
The colour is not as golden as seen in other pictures. Looks a bit more yellow.
What do you guys think?
